After the recent accident, I am glad I had booked 1/2 a day with the following, to pick me up a little. \must say the sound of it was great, especially 2/3 gears when giving it some :lol:

Nice !!!

What is it like to drive ?

I found the DB9 too heavy as a sporty car. Very nice sound, although I find the noise of the Ferrari or the 911 at least as nice. Maybe even a bit clearer.

Would have loved to try the V8. Looks :ok: 8)
Was just put off by the waitlist (2 years :shock:) and the lack of seats at the rear. Not the ideal fun car if you also want to entertain junior at the weekends.

D'you know - it's really annoying. One of Aston's test drivers lives round the corner from me. I look at him, and he looks at me. I'm sure he wants to have a go in mine, and I wouldn't mind for a quick spin in the Aston. I just think we haven't had a chance to meet and natter about it yet. I'm surounded by un-affordable Astons where I live.

I must admit, it's rather nice :wink:

Just ask him !

Make sure you get to have a go in one with a manual gearbox and maybe a V8. The DB9 with autobox is quite a dissappointment coming out of a reactive car like the scoob.
