Emira Maniac
Hi all, I guess we are a pretty excited bunch of guys?!!! (and gals?)
Lifelong petrolhead, got it from my dad and gave it to my son. Current cars below - 17 year-old 996 C4S with 152,000 miles on it, 120,000 of which are mine - daily driver for the last 11 years. Awesomely capable and versatile car.
Weekend ride 2010 4.7 V8 Vantage - 50th birthday present to myself too many years ago.... Again, totally awesome, was designed to compete head to head with the 911 which is does in some ways and yet is a totally different experience. Full Sportspack including the much sought-after lightweight carbon-fibre seats. Oh, and the noise it makes......
If you were being totally non-pc you'd say the 911 was my wife and the Vantage the mistress - but I love them both dearly!
The Aston will be going to help fund the Emira, I'm hoping to hang onto the 911 as I'm about to do a full suspension refresh once my KW3 coilovers arrive, to join all the other new suspension components waiting in the garage.
And my odd handle here? Well my last and only Lotus was a slightly ratty eclat I owned when I was 20 - I'd love to do a full rebuild on one of those - a massively under-rated car, if not everyone's taste visually.
I'm looking forward to hearing everyone else's stories, configurator discussions, delivery date chat - and everything else!
We are all very lucky guys...
