Hi all
I've been very quiet on my GT40 build for a while as I took the decision to buy a new car and put the project on hold for a few months. After several summers of not having something nice to drive and take to events I started looking into cars, went to look at an Aston Martin and I had to have one.
So today I picked up my new car. It's a 2007 Aston Vantage in Meteorite silver. The car is near perfect and certainly doesn't look 7 years old and drives beautifully. It's the first V8 I've owned and I am loving the grunt you get it sounds amazing. The dealer has also fitted a new set of 2014 spec wheels which I bought and I think improve the look of the car.
I'd like to say it was a tough decision parking the GT40 project but after the first drive in the Aston it really wasn't, the car makes you feel a million dollars. The GT40 will be continuing over the summer and beyond and I am still committed to getting it finished.
