Why is there a numberplate plinth on a DB9? I thought they didn't have them? Mine certainly didn't. confused

What spurred me on to fulfill my lifelong dream sooner rather than later was loosing a close friend to cancer, and suffering ill health myself
I have not lost anyone recently, but a lot of ill health in the family made me think, it was ok getting a diesel Freelander to run about in, but what happened if anything happened and I only every dream't of getting a dream car ....... frown ..... that just could not happen, so I introduced the 9 to the family ..... smile put a smile on my face, and guess what Cowman ...!!!!

There is not a day that goes by, that I don't smile when the old girl fires up ..... biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

For the very reason that inspired you to buy the 9, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE IT. Please please please don't park it and drive it every now and then.

(PS throw away fuse 22 in the boot, you really won't be needing that .... wink )

Best to take it to Bamford rose and get the sport cats fitted and get a bypass switch fitted for the exhaust.

Congratulations Stephen, the car is stunning, as all DB9 and V12 Astons are ( will get lambasted for not being a fan of the V8,) I get down down to Cornwall a lot as I have family down there. Maybe when I am next down we can take a blast round the north Cornish coast! Congrats again and welcome!

I am now the extremely proud owner of a DB9, she is everything I wished for and bite the back of your hand .
She is a real beauty Stephen, the good news is.. that special feeling created by being lucky enough to own such a stunning car with a beating V12 heart returns every time you see, sit in, or drive the beast... Congrats smile
