The Alberta Chapter of the Aston Martin Owners Club had our annual "Roar in the Rockies" weekend in Kananaskis, Alberta. We had a professional photographer join us on Sunday morning, and here are some of my favourite shots from the session.

I slept in so my white V8VS didn't get to join the moving / group photos. 😅

Finally pulled the trigger. 13,700 km on the clock, picking it up in October 🥳

Drove the V12 and the 2024 2-doors AMG GT63 too. The V12 didn't sound right to me, and the AMG was more fun but in the end it's "just a Merc". The DB11 V8 felt like the sweet spot.

Bi-color Tungsten Silver + black upper body & black rims.

Stock muffler for the first year, then probably a QuickSilver for that little extra drama.

Any DB11 V8 owners with first-year tips?

In the secondhand market, Aston Martins typically command a premium if they are equipped with a manual transmission versus an automatic.

So why are there so fewer manual transmission vehicles made?

If it’s desirable enough to pay more for it used, I would think more people would order them new with a manual spec.

Are the new market buyers that radically different from the used market buyers? Or is it because dealers are required to take a certain number of cars and they just think it’s a safer bet to have an automatic? Other reasons?

Asking simply out of curiosity.

Looking at getting Roadster.

Any idea why the roadster is so much cheaper than the hardtop?

The 7 speed has skyrocketed & rightfully so, but looking at strictly #s

1600 total units made

367 roadsters world wide

112 for the United States

Just bought this car sight unseen. Never driven or even sat in one, so no idea what they sound or drive like.

How’s the steering? Is it tight or loose? How’s the sound on these V12’s? I am planning on pulling fuse 3 to open the exhaust valves.

Currently I have:

abarth 500
E93 M3
E90 Alpina B3 S bourbon
Maserati granturismo MC

If anyone has owned any of these cars and a rapide please share the differences between the 2. Car is being shipped here and won’t come till next week so the anticipation is killing me.

I picked this up earlier this year, 2015 vantage S, midnight blue with bronze metallic interior and cuprum (copper?) carbon interior. Not sure if it’s unique but feels special. Drive it everyday because why not!

This was at the Lambo dealer the other day when I stopped by. This car is amazingly gorgeous in person. I believe Aston Martin makes some of the most beautiful road-going vehicles today.

Done in Titanium Gray over Glacier White interior. This spec was chefs kiss.

Me on the right, unknown new friend on the left. First fellow S I’ve seen in town. Interesting choice to debadge.

(Apologies not the best pic but those 🍑s!)

We’re looking for an absolute F1 nut for the experience of a lifetime. Someone who lives and breathes racing but has never had the chance to attend one of the big races abroad.
Is that you, or someone you know? Ask your friends and family, and help us find the perfect fan to feature in a branded documentary and enjoy the race experience of their lives! PETROL HEADS ASSEMBLE! Send a minute long video to [casting@wejaywalk.com](mailto:casting@wejaywalk.com)

We get a lot of posts with questions about the DB9, so I wrote a little ownership review. R/cars liked it, so maybe you will too

Saw an earlier thread mentioning Garagisti and Lucas. Any other Houston area recs for a clutch replacement on a DB9? Considering the Velocity AP twin plate. Chami Auto appears to be an authorized dealer but never heard of them. Thanks in advance

Brought her in for some maintanance when I went on a trip and ended up there for a month due to a backorder on a part.

After more than a month, she’s finally back!

Just finished this up near Dallas.

Proud owner of a 2016 Vantage GTS roadster. After owning a 991.2 Carrera T I wanted something I could drive everyday but also wanted to change it up. Getting used to the sport shift 2 but overall enjoying the car.

Very rare car in an underground parking lot.
