New DB9 Owner

[evolve]

Hi all,

I am new here, and firstly must say that this forum has so much useful information, it helped me immensely in the search of my DB9.

About 2 weeks ago I picked up an 05 model DB9, TT2, midnight blue with sandstorm interior.
The car was from Grange Brentwood, they were just fantastic and a pleasure to deal with.

The car has been superb, and the feeling of driving and owning an Aston Martin is really second to none. It's always been a car that I wanted to own, and am so excited just to have thought that I can drive the DB9 on the weekend!

I am in London, and haven't had the chance to properly drive the car yet, hopefully will come to one of the drives and meet a few fellow AM owners on here.

Given the weather lately, haven't had the chance to take any decent pictures, will definitely take a few more pics later.

Looking slick. Very understated.

Excellent choice. Welcome to the club.

Very nice. Your smile will get bigger and bigger as the weekend approaches.

Thank you!

Finally had time to do a proper wash and detail. A few pics below:

Looks wonderful and what a stunning colour combination, I'm thinking about changing to a DB9 from the vantage and love the colour so thanks for posting!

Liking the colour combo, very classy.
Hopefully see you at one of the meets sometime .

Raymond very nice car in classic colour combo.
Ignore anything Jockman says as he is a nutter and speaks foreign.

I know the V12 is thirsty, but that's taking it a bit literally.

Might look better with the correct size/shape of number plate....Just my opinion of course

I actually prefer the "standard" dimensions plate on the rear to that honking great placard they need to fill the shape. That just makes it look like a Jag or Range Rover. With a shorter 6 digit plate, I would also shorten it slightly further.

By that logic, you prefer a plate that makes it look like 99% of the cars on the road - say, a Fiesta ??

I think the unusual plate gives it added character
