DB 9 first drive

[Debradeadeye]

The dealer is taking my AM vantage and lending the demo DB9. Even at 62 I'm excited! Will I be disappointed?

Not a bit! A beautiful car with a wonderful engine.

Don't forget to bring your pipe and slippers.

You will love it though. Just don't go talking to Bob, otherwise you'll have it booked in with bamford rose and its not even your car! lol

It's not doing it for me. It looks sensational but it's ike driving an updated upmarket version of our old s type jag. A bit of an epiphany. Think I prefer the CAGED ANGRY ANT That is the AM VANTAGE. Yep give me rough over refined dignified beauty. Feeling a little gutted by the experience. Needing to vent!!

Try the V8s or even V12s next time but only try it if you're ready to buy it!

Are you sure they didn't lend you an S Type Jag?

I'm not saying you don't know your cars, but that is an odd comparison.

Thanks little donkey I found these two strange paddles on the steering wheel and a button marked S and the drive to Newcastle took on a whole new meaning. For anyone in the slightest interested I RETRACT COMPLETELY MY EARLIER POST. Please Aston Martin forgive a middle aged chick!

Always used the paddles. The 'D' button is purely for traffic jams

A woman suddenly reversing her opinion? That's a rare thing

Hi handsome.....this is the Aston Martin forum where we hold no truck for misogynists.
Men and women are welcome in full measure and as long as Debra wears her carpet slippers and smokes her pipe whilst driving her DB9 she will find a fulsome welcome here.

I sometimes wonder if these old jokes are lost on new members.

Perhaps I should not underestimate the wit, and intelligence of members. After all, they bought an Aston Martin.

How are you Mr. Avin?
Busy and laughing on this wet day?

I'm doing very well Jon and the inclement weather certainly boosts my business.
Just saw your post so I broke off from stashing the days takings into several large bin bags. ,
P.S. Didn't realise it was a joke......pleased to hear that .......will ditch the slippers and pipe poste haste....didn't really go with my rebel image......what about the red trousers?
