My dad got invited to an Aston Martin test drive... I will be attending as well!

We don't really know how he got selected, but we're not complaining!

It's a 30 minute test drive (but not just us, for the whole group!), next thursday. We'll try to take lots of pictures!

Re: Siko & Dad will test drive an AM V8 Vantage Roadster

OK, so the event was yesterday.

Basically it was a personal 30 minute test drive, yourself accompanied by an AM rep.

They had a few cars available, mostly coupes with a couple of roadsters.

Based on the availability upon our arrival...
* Dad got the Vantage Roadster with manual tranny
* I got a the Vantage Coupe with Sportshift (clutch-less manual à la SMG/DSG)

I will post my review a little later.

Below are some pics we took. Unfortunately we didn't take pictures on the interiors since they were locked. I suppose we could have taken pictures when it was our turn to drive, but that would cut-in our timed test drive Although we took more pics inside the dealership while waiting (those will be posted later).

Great Siko.

The V8 Vantage Roadster reminds me quite a lot of the Porsche 944 Cabrio to look at.
