Yes that's it, haha
With Dinky providing some presumably French plates and some not-so-legal looking UK ones. Wonder why they didn't put BMT216A on the toy?

Yeah, seems odd. You think that it might be for some copyright reason but the other two plates are accurate, and then they use 007 on one which is probably much more of an infringement... Possibly it was just decided that JB 007 was cooler for kids than BMT216A!

I managed 412 miles on a single tank this weekend on a round trip to Wales, thanks to the scarily treacherous conditions on the A5 on Friday!
Four months into ownership and about 2000 miles down I’m really getting into the swing of it. A lot more nimble than I was first expecting, really good fun and pointy down good roads but then is just such a nice place to spend time, very comfy, great stereo. Effortless (clutch in traffics aside). I suspect the twin plate clutch upgrade really completes it.

400 miles on 1 tank?! That's crazy I've never managed ANYTHING like that in my DB9's previously!Four months into ownership and about 2000 miles down I’m really getting into the swing of it.

Just waved the V12V goodbye for two weeks as on holiday, so is the car, gone to BR to get the manifolds, cats changed etc, cant wait till the 22nd
Be happy to take it from BR to your home before you get back from holiday so it’s immediately available to you... completely selfless act and would not require remuneration... that’s the kind of guy I am

That is so generous, if I hadn't already paid for the transporter then you could have done, next time perhaps

You must have dropped it off when I was in the workshop with mike collecting my DB9, it wasnt outside the roller doors when i arrived but had appeared when i was leaving.The car is epic btw, you will love yours
