For me, owning a DBS pretty much sums up what owning an Aston Martin is all about. A stunningly gorgeous machine, fast, powerful and worthy of its place of topping the range in 2012. But it's 2015 - so I bought this.......... It wasn't my fault, it was between the front door and the service desk. Honest.

Morning Frost dripping in carbon. Yum!

LD, you probably and understandably won't have seen my last post about being in a foul mood, but I wish to thank you personally for lifting said mood. I love it when you go shopping. That is magnificent. Well done chum!

Yes - a V12VRS to be precise. It's rather lovely.

Well, if you could accidentally drop the DBS off at my place then I'd be happy to relieve you of the stress of ownership!

Remember what was said about V12V's? Don't ever test drive one having just got out of a V8 unless you intend to buy it??

DBS to MY2015 Vanquish........ Same thing. Totally caught out.

Cracking car. Congratulations!

Classic case of leaving the house without the wife! What was she thinking? Letting you go to the Aston dealer unsupervised. All her fault! biggrin

You do only live once!! Enjoy it.

That is to coin an Americanism just blooming awesome!

Well done and enjoy. I'm sure you will. Just glad I've only had my DBS for 3 months and the service isn't due for a while...but one day hope to have same buying experience as you... Note to self don't take wife on service visit!!

Morning frost and carbon...gorgeous
