    Last week I was tossing up which car to take up to Pebble from LA out of the GT3 Touring or the 599 and my wife definitely wanted to go in the 599 for its comfort and road presence.

    We left around 9am on Friday morning and I was actually expecting to see many more cops than I actually did.

    I was able to sit on around 100 for most of the way apart from the Ding Dongs that sit on the left lane and block the overtaking!

    Fuel economy was no problem with one stop on the way.

    I also purchased one of the Bovee Bluetooth adaptors which allowed me to listed to my streaming music.

    The 599 was an absolute dream to drive up! I just love the power, handling and I even liked the paddle gear changes.

    Saturday morning I drove the new Aston Martin DB12 and I was very impressed with it. So much better than the out going DBS and I didn't miss the V12 at all.

    After I got back into the 599 it felt a little wooden for a minute and then I settled back into my groove and was smiling from ear to ear!

    In the photos? Either SP3 (the one with the roof) or 296 GTS (without the roof), those are the only light blue cars I could see
