Hi,
A little appreciation post, mostly forums are doom and gloom so here goes. I bought my 2013 DB9 about 9 weeks ago, drove home from London and then left to work in Iraq for 6 weeks. I came home, she fired up straight away and i proceeded to polish the life out of her. Autoglym UHD wax is brilliant by the way!! Anyway i drove from Glasgow to Prayssac in douther France, around 1100 miles. Car was absolutely fantastic, everything i hoped for. Sport mode is a must though and I installed the cccharger exhaust remote before i left, another must for me. Comfortable all the way and im 6’6!! People love it, the amount of attention we have had is nuts but its all been good!! Even motorcycles coming in the opposite direction waving and giving the thumbs up. Fabulous machine!!! Can’t wait to drive home!!! Drive them, don’t just look at them!! 17k miles when i picked her up, now nearly 19k and i will use it.

Same car, 14 plate. Had it 6 years end of this month. Had the BR primary decat and remap which made things even better. I’m on 52k miles having put 40k of them on myself. Love it. Glad you’re enjoying yours.

Bought last year car had the decats done and also the AM 30 bhp performance upgrade done

I think they still look amazing for what is a 20 year old design
Still fancy an exhaust upgrade!

It's one of very few cars that good from every angle IMHO. Good design is timeless. The interior is an ergonomic disaster area but looks great which is more important hehe

My father in-law's house is near Prayssac, and went there many a time in my old DB9 . I was there just the other week. The house is for sale if you're interested.

They really are stunning machines even after 20 years.

If only!! Definitely something for the future for me, just not sure where yet.
Just another thing, driving in Europe really shows how utterly terrible our roads are in the UK. Total embarrassment. They cant even repair them with the same surface, like a patchwork quilt.
