Winter over, serviced my 50 year old Ransoms Marquis, fired it up, started first time. Wonder if the Virage will be equally bullet proof...

Got flashed at by plod frown

Nailed it at the lights, into second and chilled out just as the world illuminated. She sounded glorious, it was the first time out for many weeks, totally ruined the night as I must have been over the limit for all of 1 second - funny that's where the camera was...rolleyes

Fair cop I suppose, but really?

Wife is not going to be impressed when the letter arrives whilst I'm in Holland!

You're far too young for a DBS! Actually, it's the Db9 that's the old mans car. Saying that, I know people that have changed from a V12v to a DBS because it's a softer ride and more forgiving on their bum.
Guilty as charged.

Enjoy your new car.

I hear that Mclarens are much more hi-tech than Astons.
Their heater system is spectacular.
