After ages dithering over my next car purchase,and bugging people here with the odd daft question ,I stuck a deposit down on a DBS yesterday, a manual one obviously wink
It has to go in for a service prior to me collecting it ,and due to it being a fair distance from me,and a rather unusually hectic work schedule ...I won't be collecting it for 10-14 days.
Having had 5 years of 4wd systems it will be lovely to get back to that front engined rwd layout .

Congrats! Great choice, DBS in manual is one of those cars that just hit the sweet spot. It'll be a long 10 days!

Good lad - make sure they do the phone pairing for you, as well as the tracker tag config if you are not using your smartphone.

I do love the DBS. And with the proper box too! Hope you have great fun mate. A huge change from your Lambo though.

Now Phill, this is something i disagree with. Lambo's have always been cool and i love them. I think this is shared by most folk out there and rather than give them abuse, most people would just look and admire a lambo. I think ferrari's might be a bit different in that respect.

Now, an aston martin gets respect and admiration from all corners and the DBS is probably the most striking of them all.

Though to be honest, astons are common as muck these days. I was down the pub in a village near where i live yesterday and there were loads of them in the car park! Some were even using profanities! One gentlemman in a Black DBS was even wearing a big tweet jacket! Now, you would never get a stylish lambo owner doing that.

I'm used to it,The lambo was adored,from old women to young kids ,not one set of v's ever flicked at me,not one abusive word,and never kept waiting at a junction for more than 2-3 cars before being allowed out,was a massive shock when test driving a Porsche gt3 to be kept waiting for n5 minutes to pull out.

What's the tracker tag config ? Is that something to do with the warp drive ?

You made the right decision. By far the best looking of all the Astons. And much classier than any Lambo or Ferrari.

Happy motoring!
