Belated Introduction (with lots of pics)

[kalibre46]

HI All,

I've posted a few times in other threads but hadn't bothered with the obligatory 'Introduction' thread of my own, mainly because I hadn't had the weather to backup the introduction with the equally obligatory deluge of photos.

Well, now the sun has come out (hmm, actually gone again) I can proudly say that I picked up my MY09 DB9 in Jet Black a couple of weeks ago. I had the dealer fit the clear lights and also the glass dash buttons, which I think look stunning. I've already gleaned a fair amount of information from these forums and look forward to learning a lot more and hopefully contributing a bit in the future too.

I did warn you that I had photos, so here goes:

Yeah I'm very happy with the combination. I think the glass buttons make the interior a very special place to be.

Oh and before any flat cap jokes come up, I've two young daughters and wanted the car to be a family experience hence the requirement for rear (albeit small) seats.

A beauty! Congrats...

Out of interest, which are the glass buttons about which you speak?

Thanks, they are the top row gear buttons P,R,N and D. Plus the bottom row buttons for Park sensors, Sport mode etc.

Probably a bit wet still from cleaning. I'll endeavour to get a better shot another time.

yeah, the selling is very subtle, easy to miss, every time.

Thanks, I was very happy with the condition of her. I had some reservations about having Jet Black as opposed to the very common and lovely Onyx, but I'm a convert now. I think these pics are boosted slightly by having the moody clouds overhead.

Congratulations. Looks like a very tidy car in excellent condition.
