2007 Aston Martin Vantage on 2040-cars
Santa Anna, Texas, United States
Platinum Warranty (A) from LaSalle Warranty Group until September 25, 2015 (another 3 months). Not your typical
AMV8. Very well cared for ( I hand wash it using the AMMO NY method ) and upgraded. Installed wheel spacers, H&R
lowering Springs, custom hand-fabricated aluminum air intake (larger and smoother ID than the original ugly rubber
"snorkle" more air, more power), professionally painted over all exterior chrome (front grill, side grill slits,
window trim) and rims with Titanium Gunmetal (even the custom air intake). Car was tuned by Fastlane in December of
2013 to get every bit of power out of the engine. This car drives and handles superbly. The blue/ saddle leather
interior still has the most pleasant new-car aroma. Bluetooth, Aston Premium sound system, driver and passenger
adjustable power seats with adjustable lumbar control, heated seats, auto climate control, red caliper Aston brakes
(made by Brembo). Previous owner replaced the clutch at 16,000 miles (sooner than necessary, but one less thing to
worry about). New rotors and Carbotech brakes May 2014. Partial clear bra on the hood, mirrors and front of car. I
purchase nice cars to drive for a few months and then sell them. This car has been with me for 19 months now as it
is very difficult for me to part with. I only drive it twice a month and when the wife wants to go out in town;
hence the low miles: I only put about 4,200 miles in 18 months. **UPDATE: Due to failing state inspection, I just
had the dealer replace one O2 sensor, the catalytic convertor and the re-called seat heater unit. No issues with
this car. I am the 4th owner. Previous owners were in North Texas and Arizona. I have not titled the car since I
have Dealer Plates on it; original title in hand. There is normal wear and tear and the clear bra would be better
replaced with some of the newer technology.

Mercedes to offer SL, GL platforms to Aston Martin?
Sun, 23 Mar 2014The agonizingly slow courtship between Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz has been a regular topic of conversation ever since the 2009 Lagonda Concept debuted, riding on a Mercedes GL chassis. Beyond that one polarizing concept, though, nearly every other attempt to pair the two brands up in a major way has fallen through. Only the technical partnership between Mercedes and Aston for certain components from AMG, which was negotiated back in July, has held up so far.
That may finally be set to change, according to an excellent profile of the two brands' relationship from Automobile, which claims that two platforms will unite the Germans and Brits. The first tie up is, not surprisingly, a sports car.
As Aston Martin's VH platform - which underpins every car that comes out of Gaydon - continues to age, the pressure will well and truly be on Aston to find a next-gen replacement to underpin the successors to the Vantage, Vanquish, DB9 and Rapide. Automobile claims Mercedes has just such an architecture, in the form its new modular sports car platform. This new platform is slated for the next-generation SLK and SL and is still in its design infancy.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls
Sun, 14 Oct 2012A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.
