    Let me know if you need help importing one.

    I'm still waiting on the adjuster, I'm hoping it's not totalled even though everyone tells me to get it declared totalled. I *LOVE* that car and it'll be hard to find a manual in a similar colour scheme. Frame took a hit, it got gouged a bit but I'm hoping it's just superficial damage from the rim. I've compiled the parts and am at 40k. Could go higher if the steering was damaged. Then there's paint and labour.

    Rush,

    I was probably thirsty after a little "session" in the industrial park there. For some reason I always get thirsty driving the car :)

    Hard to order at the drive through over the engine noise. Once I turned the engine off so they could hear my order and then realized the car didn't like to restart when it was hot... bit embarrassing. New plugs fixed the issue.

    Cheers!

    I have a few of the museum, sadly the camera died just as I went for a ride. I wouldn't have taken pics or video anyway though. People obsess so much about recording the experience that they MISS the experience.

    I got to warm up a DB9 this morning, man what a sound!

    Ya but such a different sound to the Ferrari's and Lambos. Raspy, crackles. Not a sustained wail like the italians but just a series of these lightning fast crackles, hard to describe..

    Drive it and your opinion will forever be ruined on the car... It's gorgeous and sounds amazing but the driving experience is quite opposite. After I drove one I was very dissappointed

    Getting to drive a convertible Aston in Miami, of course im having a great time! But as per a driving experience, the brakes were more then terrible, the transmission was bad and the handling wasnt the greatest. IMO definitely not worth the money
