DB9 Owner for 1 week - my feedback so far
Discussion
Just thought i would share my experiences/feedback after being a DB9 owner for 1 whole week (veteran)
sorry for the long post!
+ beautiful,
+ fast, i couldn't believe it when i first put my foot down
+ fantastic sound,
+ presence - its a classic
- Seats are uncomfortable (2006) numb arse after an hour or so and can feel the metal through the side bolster (is that the right term)
- Bluetooth Microphone - No one can hear me
- Fuel consumption - but then i knew that when i chose it
- no cool way of getting in or out (if your a fat sod like me)
+ peoples reaction - wow i have never been so popular
my daughters friends (18) coming round in the dark just to see the car, one volunteering to pick daughter up from work at 11pm in his car if i took him out in the DB9 - even better his 6 foot friend who folded himself into the rear seat for the trip!
The chap at RAC insurance that said he would swap my wife details over from the current car to the new one, then stopped and said he would swap his wife a DB9
didn't use them in the end as too expensive
Martin Hamer at Lockwoods - made insuring the car a breeze - thats how an insurance broker should act
James hawkes reed at Trackaphone - what a gent - replied 3 times to my Friday evening emails
Chris Bowring at 4C Prestige - He helped me source the car and steered me away from the rubbish ones
the guy at Tesco service station who came up to me and said how stunning she was ( wife was in the car but i knew what he meant)
The warehouse guy at a customers - i was waiting in reception and he said "excuse me is that your DB9" i said yes it is, is there a problem ? (thinking it was parked in the wrong place) No he's said just wanted to say its beautiful and we have all been looking at it on the CCTV
what a first week !

Limey
that week will feel like a year - but boy is it worth it
however be careful not to expect too much - don't get me wrong they are fantastic but its a car - it won't make you better looking or make your willy bigger (well driving it might :0)
having said all that - enjoy every minute - its a special thing
