DB7 question - what are these 3 holes about?

[Hoofy]

I've seen them on a couple of DB7 interior pics.

Mr X has his formatting wrong but I'd say the left and right 'holes' are where you stick a biro to make the clock go forwards or backwards.

It's from the days before menus, nice and analogue :-)

DB9 has the same two, but not the middle one.

Yeah, unfortunately the holes are just a bit too small for most pens to fit.

I keep a small Allen key in the car to use as a poker as I am adjusting the clock all the time as summer and winter seem to come around so fast nowadays.

[snuffy]

For authenticity you should use a quill pen to poke through the little holes!

[Hoofy]

Ah, I thought they were actually holes where something was attached to the dashboard.

A rare car without a heated front screen.

My wife always reminds me that her old Focus Zetec has a HFS as standard but my DB7 does not.

Time to trade in your DB7 for a Mondeo!

To which you reply 'Yes but it's an Aston' and smile in a contented manner...

Mine has the same ignition key as the Ford Sapphire I had as a company car in the 1980s! And I wouldn't say the satnav is old but it only has eight roads and they're all straight

Does it say "Londinium"?

My 2016 DB9 GT doesn't have a heated windscreen...
