V8Pete Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 set them up so you can close them in the winter for fast warm upNon-watertight bonnets frighten me a bit. Even the Vantage has some holes in it. The 348 one is like a sieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's quite hard to get in and out of as there's ~350mm of sill and handbrake before you get to the seat. Feels really strange sitting so far in from the edge of the car too. '80s digital HVAC. Eek. Gross wireless, but at least I won't feel bad about ripping out a genuine one and it has a flap to cover it up. Glovebox strut needs regassing. #ferrariproblems Also there's a JDM flare in the glovebox. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 The wheels sit so far in from the edge of the guards. The general consensus is 25mm spacers for the rear for handling or 25mm rear and 15mm front for looks. Just need to find some with the Clint seal of approval. Also, that black hole at the back of the rear window is the air intake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Aston Martin dealer signed me up to a mailing list when I bought a headlight off them. They spam me with luxury driving tour things that are probably lush, but they're $15-20,000 for five days! http://www.astonmartin.com/events/elegant-journeys The best value and most appealing one is a three night ice driving thing in NZ for a relative steal at $8995. http://www.astonmartin.com/events#event=New+Zealand+On+Ice+2016 Does anyone know of other ways to get to drive on a snow/ice proving ground thing? Ideally for about a tenth of the price of the AM one? Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I honestly can't believe how lush those seats (and whole interior really...but mostly the seats ) look.. I mean, it's an old car so surely they have been recovered? So god damn nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's an old car so surely they have been recovered? So god damn nice. It's hardly the kind of car that would have had some slob daily drive it though, is it? Think about how many owners would have actually cared for it instead of treated it as a basic commodity and right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Cletus complies cars now? Give me the flare Peet, otherwise it will go walkabouts (i.e. the rubbish bin) before the car is signed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 They go in the compliance guys toolbox. We had a chap start at my old work from such a place and he had a drawer committed to flares in his toolbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
