Indeed, nearly my year anniversary 
Some proper bargains emerging and no doubt deals to be done at dealers too. 
Almost 2 years... I might treat it to a wash for our anniversary (the car, not me).
Come on who's hijacked yeti's account now

Keep your eye out for polecats, Mikey - they will go for the owls. Plus the enormous rabbits, as well as the foxes.Sat watching logs burn listening to the owls

Sorry but you didn't try very hard did you? 
M/S Word has a basic spelling and grammar checker and I guarantee even your PC has a caps key! Words like Aston Martin, Wilmslow and I are capitalised but then you know that but you just can't be bothered and as I said before if you can't be bothered to get it right then don't expect the punters to take you seriously.

OP, if you are still listening, what Yeti said, right down the line. You owe him a drink.
That looks like a very very nice car, and personally I would much rather have the manual, but describe it meticulously with details that potential buyers wil be interested in. Skip trying to persuade people that the manual is better, anyone who is into these things knows that already. That car should sell itself and YOU are the obstacle.
Your problem is simple, and I am not going to skirt round the issue. You spell like an oik, and no one buys a quality car from an oik, because they assume that an oik will not have the car properly serviced, will probably abuse it, and will probably be trying to pull some kind of stroke. Too many details on your ad flash red warnings to potential buyers. Try to sound like an proper responsible caring Aston Martin owner selling a car that cost near on £100k new. Give every detail that establishes the bona fides of the car. Every service, mileage at each service. Everything that has been done, and if it helps, who did it. The photographs aren't bad but they could be better.
Then, be patient.

Cool! Nice move. Have you got any pictures?
I think you know the answer to that 
Are we calling a custard test? Rare as not usually required on this hallowed forum...

If you need to see some nice car pictures apparently something called 'Google Images' is very good
You don't own an Aston, you don't own a RR. Prove me wrong Seems a lot of people on this thread think similar too - http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t...
Agree regarding the write up. Whenever I sell a car I put the complete history and things such as tyre tread depth, MOT dates etc. etc. This is on the one hand to show I am a serious seller and on the other it allows for a buyer filter.
I can't find the car on Autotrader and although PH has a reasonable audience is it wide enough to capture all potential DB7 buyers. Maybe you have tried AT already with no success and that is fair enough. What about the Classic sites as well, example.
As for car buying in winter I picked my DB9 up on 16th December 2010. I got it home the night the snow struck and it spent weeks just sitting in the garage
Had to make do with reading the user manual.
