I'm not a fan of the db12 front

Heres some ideas. I've made a couple of rough renders with a 2014 Vanquish grille and 2007 DBS grille.

Aston Martin Virage — intermittent electric power loss

The car I believe has electrical issue which gets fixed for few seconds on its own and fails after several seconds.

From begginig the car doesn't respond to the key at all — doors stay locked, no lights, completely dead.

After a minute it works fine and recognizes the key normally

It starts fine every time — no starter issues

~30-40 sec after starting: 50% blackout — dash off, random warning lights, indicators dead

Car still drives fine during blackout (brakes/steering/transmission all normal)

~10 sec of full electric power returns (dash, AC, radio, indicators all work, warnings clear)

Then back to blackout — cycle repeats

Diagnostic tool can't even connect to the car and receive response

Battery tested fine today, 2-3 yrs old

Low mileage, driven ~once every 4 weeks, no accident history

I used trickle charger for 24hours. Still issue persists

Anyone seen this before? What was the fix?

My Last Spec Was Controversial....

I thought my last spec was cool...code name project outrage, the spec should be outrageous. The more I think of this car it's shaping up to be a road legal Vulcan in my eyes.

Here's my new spec...swapped Ghillies Green for Iridescent Sapphire and for the livery & brakes Valkyrie Gold instead of Ultra Yellow. For the interior Blue Haze Metallic, Pale Blue and Sandstorm with Gold details. What do you think?

2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S Roadster

Good old naturally aspirated 6.0 V12, paired with a 7 speed dogleg manual gearbox. IMO it gets nothing better than that.

V8 vantage headlight- high cost, questions

Hi
One headlight on my 2007 vantage has a fault that says indicator signal fault and the blinker blinks crazy fast. Only one side. Shop said it’s the motherboard on the light, may have gotten water in it at some points Shop quoted me $9k for OEM replacement plus labor.

Anyone have this repaired and have experienced with this repair?

Thanks!

Would an off-road inspired Aston Martin GT car capture market interest?

Created a concept based off the DB11 to compete with the Porsche 911 Dakar and Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. Wanted to go with a DB car over the Vantage to give it more of the GT Rally vibe (versus the Sport Rally class the vantage would fit in) to capture different buyer interest in the market. Would this kind of trim package (on any Aston Martin) increase buyer interest, or be viewed as straying too far from Aston’s core principles?

A very eventful drive back from Big Sur during car week

Was worried I wasn’t going to see him at all!

Superiority Complex

Recently bought my first Aston Martin, a 2015 Rapide. I bought the car for my personal enjoyment, I could give a rip about other people’s car…or so I thought.

I now feel superior to others in terms of taste, class and highway acceleration. This superiority is most acute when seeing Porsche Panoramas.

Wondering if this is a common occurrence and if symptoms diminish over time.

Edit to clarify this is meant as a joke. With any luxury purchase there is a level of justification and I stretched that for comedic purposes. I haven’t owned a ‘fun’ car in decades and enjoying it all.
