Well, as the title says, here's my next door neighbour's V8 Vantage.

Here's a photo I took from the front:

Here's a photo I took from the rear (you can see my house in this photo, it's a semi-detached, and my house is the one joined to the house that the V8 Vantage is in front of - a creamy colour):

Here's a photo of the interior:

Here's a photo of the wheels (the photo doesn't do justice, they're huge and look awesome):

Well, it isn't our next door neighbour's, it's his brother's. Whatever, it's totally stunning.

And, oh, man, you've gotta' hear the sound it makes. It's no pissfart Gallardo sound or Ferrari squeal, it's pure meat. Deep, muscly bellow. Holyyy sh*t, it sounds SO mean. I swear it's got 800bhp rather than 385 judging by the exhaust note!

Anyways, that's about it. I didn't get offered to go for a spin in it like I was hoping, so no video clips. Maybe tomorrow, though :).

I have an idea, instead of hoping to be offered a ride in it, you steal the owners keys and take it for a joyride.:)

Only joking, but fark me that looks so nice.

Have they got it for keeps? That's a stunning car. Best colour for the interior aswell, and that's the first time I've seen an AM steering wheel upside down. :p

I...WANT...THAT...CAR :smt119 how lucky are you for your neighbours (brother) to have that car, you can just stare at it and the best i can look at is a Modded C2 :p

You are really lucky. Everyday you will look at your neighbour's garage. And you are an aston martin fan. Do you know him? He should take you to go for a ride. To see how the car is performing. :D. I wish to have such as these neighbours. :p

Yes very lucky! Looks amazing, though I personally do not like the red interior, on any car. But still very nice! I saw a coupe one drive past the other week, very fast, and making a very nice noise!

Wow, that looks amazing. The interior looks very comfortable too, I'm not a big fan of the red but it's still nice. And since it's your neighbors, you can stare at it all day whenever you want.:) Too bad you didn't get to ride in it.

I haven't seen the convertible in person yet, but the coupe looks better in person than in the magazines. I like the DB9 far better though.

^^^but the Vantage is more affordable (not saying it is affordable) and there are 4 less cylinders which means major V8 grunt, i remember on "Top Gear" Jeremy Clarkson said he could hear it miles away (not literally but you get the point), imagine being in it going flat out with the roof down.

I think you can hear it from 2 miles away when all the exhaust valves are open. :)

That Vantage V8 is beautiful. Aston Martin has the most appeal to me out of any other vehicle on the road. The red interior is just great looking and very comfortable looking. Its just freaking sexy!!!

wow, that's a bloody nice car there, the rims look good, and the convertible look of it is nice.. too bad you haven't got a turn in taking it for a spin yet, seeing a video of it would be nice, you've described it's engine noise better than a Gallardo's one and a Ferrari's one!

Instead of envying you I kinda feel sorry for you. Every day you can look out and see that SEXY car but you know you'll have to wait ages to get it. Every morning you can hear it from the other side of the city and be jealous lol.

oh my... look at the state of those wheels.

that spoils the whole car for me, and it's one of my favourites at the moment; that's saying something :mad:

Brandon your neighbours car is good. Is it tuned? I see these rims and these painted brakes. So i smell something from there. It has any modifications? I think that these rims doesn't match well with this car.
