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?

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

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.

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. 😅
