Aston Martin Vanquish

[Sjow]

Anyone else seen an Aston Martin Vanquish? I just saw one near Middlesbrough (north east england) so I chased it! I only passed my test a week ago and i got a Fiesta so it was quite difficult to keep up!! Followed him for about 8 miles though along some quick country roads, it was great fun we were doing about 90 sometimes! These are pretty exclusive even in England i just wondered if anyone else had seen or even heard of one??

Check the thread I started in here to see how I saw one

I saw not a Vanquish, but a DB7 Vantage on Tuesday. It was parked near my equipment truck in the Weston Shopping Center parking lot. I was lucky enough to be standing there when the owner returned, confirmed for me that it is indeed a V12 underhood, not a supercharged V8, and started it up and pulled out. It sounded absolutely amazing, and naturally, looked pretty damned nice too.

I've heard very few V12s, and I always wondered about the descriptions that I had typically heard, that they sound like a jet engine. Now I know that those descriptions are indeed true Even my co-worker, who was with me at the time, and who cares little about cars, couldn't deny how buttery smooth that engine sounded.

I was 110% sure the 'regular' Vantage had a Inline 6 Supercharged, or did they drop that engine?

I think they dropped the I6 for either the 1999 or 2000 model. And while I didn't think that the DB7 received the V12, there was absolutely no mistaking the sound of it.

It first had a 3.2l six, then a 5.9l twelve in the Vantage.

I was following a Vantage this morning on the way to work up the A19 to Newcastle, awesome car and it had V12 OWN on the number plate. Unfortunately I was in my works van and as soon as there was a clear road it was off.

How come I never pull up behind something like this in my Vette, then we would see if it really had what it takes.

Check out these mpegs.

Man, you guys are lucky. I consider myself lucky to see a Viper, new Mercedes, or anything other then the pieces of shit everyone has around here. I guess thats what I get for living in a shitty little town. Oh well, someday I will move to a nice place and post exciting threads on this forum. :flash:

I hear you SuPeRcAr_MaN. I never see much around my small town either.

Yup. I've seen a Vanquish in South Hampton Long Island. It was parked in a lot right on the water. What a sweet sight that was!
