Yup, I'm not going to be buying a V12V for a bit. Buying an 06 XK8 convertible instead.

Not for me, figured I'd buy my Dad a car instead, and upgrade mine later.

Happy Fathers day to those of you it applies to!

Really nice thought. There should be an even happier father now

Maybe next year a DB9?

Such a shame my daughter is only 3 years old !!!

I told him today, car is arriving at the dealer tomorrow. I was just going to surprise him, but then I had a panic over if he'd want an XKR instead, but he gets he speed thrills on bikes, so he wants the one I've got lined up. He seemed happy, Mum cried. So it went well all in all!

I'd love to have got him into an DB9, but I'm not spending more on a car for him than I spent on mine wink
