P.s. As for this 'Carbon Edition', it's just plain laughable that it's no lighter than the car it's based on. I noticed too that there is no mention of this in the artical either.

Well, that's because the 'carbon edition' is purely a cosmetic 'upgrade', not a functional one. Therefore, you shouldn't expect it to weigh any less than a standard DBS...and it doesn't

Fantastic car, manual gearbox is better on the DBS (the best
smoothest and slickest manual box I've ever used)
9/10, not 10/10 as price slightly too high

Ramble, ramble, insert at least four Clarksonisms, blather, BS, "my mate drove one once," wittier, a mk1 MX5 is better, ramble, insert impression of having some kind of first hand experience, ramble, I never put my car on the PH garage cos it's st, ramble, etc, etc.

Once again, how very PH.

Looks good to me, well done on anyone that owns any Aston.

I think saying what you honestly think rather than pandering is very PH, your little piece above could just as easily be pub talk too.

it may surprise you but some people do buy performance cars because they like them and not because they draw attention to themselves

in fact I know of one person who hates the attention

Yup, Ric..me!
That's exactly why I bought the V12 Vantage. A very dapper dresser, but has a bit of an aggressive character underneath.

Each to their own though.

Separately Ric - I noted your Chim, and would be interested to learn more on the upgrades you've had done. Could I contact you on that?

Sorry Ric, my mistake.
