Haven't won the lottery but if I did I'd get a new Vanquish, until then I'll have to live with my 4mo, A3 3.2 quattro, Yamaha R6 ...... and DB9
-
His 'n' hers V6s V6 4Motion and A3 Sportback 3.2 Quattro
-
I'm lucky enough to own mine, an Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. Going camping in it this summer to Carfest North.
-
I'm using my 4mo for my daily commute (75 miles each way) at the moment. Mostly motorway and dual carriage way, with the odd roundabout. Have found myself "driving" her enthusiastically a few times near those roundabouts, but then I look at the fuel gauge and calm it down a bit again.
-
I know it's not strictly a VR6, but my latest addition to the fleet does have a VAG V6 engine (A3 Sportback 3.2 Quattro DSG S-Line), so wanted to add it to the owners registry. Any chance of getting A3 added to the model list?

Fairytale of New York on a loop.

as i said in a previous post, I'm looking at trading my 4Mo in for something newer. up to now I'd been looking at either an R32 or possibly an A3 3.2 quattro, but a search lastnight threw another option into the pot - a Passast R36. An R36 certainly looks like it would tick all the boxes for performance and the toys that I'm looking for, but has anyone here actually driven one? I don't think I've even seen one, and to be honest the rarity also adds to the appeal.

I'm looking at replacing the centres of my black leather seats, plus middles of the door cards, with red alcantara on my DB9. The coal hole/suicide black look really needs a lift.
-
Thinking of trading my 4mo in for an R32, probably a 07/08 5dr with DSG gearbox. Anything I should look out for in particular? I know most are metallic blue but the current Mrs gpb1 had final say on colour and she wants grey or silver.

VR6OC sticker in the rear window. Saw you at the Thomas A'Becket traffic lights this morning. Wasn't in my 4mo but embarrassingly the missus bright yellow with black stripes 107
-
how about a field for year?

My 4Mo is my winter car. Here's my spring/summer/autumn car (with the 4Mo in the background)

Just moved from O2 to T-Mobile when I got the iPhone 5, so mine has said EE from the start BUT as I understand it when the EE 4G network launches to the public properly I will have to shift over to an EE contract (prices as yet undisclosed). Have to say though I am liking the unlimited voice, text and (more importantly) data tariff that I'm on now. Not worried about streaming video on the move now.
-
Got two of the three I ordered. It's the thinness and lightness that I noticed rather than the screen size. Odd that the maps app puts Luton just outside Exeter though :-/
-
Carbon fibre wrap the fake wood trim. Did mine. Makes a big difference.
-
Saw a brace of 4Mo's thos morning on my walk from the tube to my office. First was a silver 51 reg on Cornhill, and then a black 5 door Golf on Bishopsgate.
-
Followed a nice looking 03 plate black 4Mo on the M6 northbound in Birmingham last night
-
Agreed - apart from the remote possbility of having the sports pack retro fitted to her she will be staying stock. Keep going into the garage just to look at her. Haven't stopped grinning yet.
-
Should I slam it?
-
19" rims. Sports pack would lower it a bit, but not much
-
It's a 2007 DB9 that's been updated with the clear rear lights. The colour is called tungsten silver, though in some lights it looks bronze. It's also got an obsidian black interior with red stitching. Still grinning here in Northampton.
-
Only picked it up yesterday so still getting used to it. The ride is great. Doesn't crash over bumps but still very flat in the corners, and the torque is unbelievable.
-
I know it's not a Golf, a V6 or even a VW but can't help grinning since I got her to go with along my 4Mo. She makes the V6 look positively frugal as a daily driver. 450 BHP and no turbo, just a 6 litre V12.
