Well done Nick.

I am starting to look for a DBS Volante once I paid July's tax bill!

Many congrats OP. That's a really superb choice. I was lucky enough to have a DB9 Volante as a courtesy car while my 599 was at the body-shop for repair. I absolutely loved it and my wife actually preferred it to the Ferrari, which was a bit awkward smile Anyway, had to give it back on Friday and I'm missing it already. It was a joy to own (albeit temporarily).

Will have a good look round it soon, glad it worked out in the end and you've got a good 'un. I guess your glowing red bonce will be a permanent feature now? biggrin

. The twisties in The Alps and The Pyrenees were not ideal for the '9. The last time I experienced that kind of understeer was in an XR2 yikes
That was the overriding impression made by my DB9 experience. Over everything else it was the huge understeer that stayed with me and put me right off the car. The DBS drives differently?

Very nice Nick, will you be getting the interior changed like your Coupe? I thought it really lifted the interior. Enjoy!

Changed the name a while ago, we're good thanks, especially the mad one as she's finally twisted my arm and is busy planning for our wedding in November.

Will do, thank you. She's put up with me for 15 years and still wants to marry me so she must truly be mad!
