Changed again

[awg454]

Hi after 10 months with the DB9 which I just didn’t gel with I’ve changed to this, 2017 Rapide S Shadow Edition in ultramarine black.
My 7th Aston !

Looks nice! I've been tempted to get a Rapide as a DD for many years now! Out of curiosity what didn't float your boat about the 9?

Looking very good, awg.

You certainly appear to change your cars frequently. Phew.
Love how you show your Morris Marina first on your Current Fleet list. It might now be amongst the last few remaining.

Enjoy your Rapide.

I cant put my finger on it really,I had a couple of small issues early on and while they where being dealt with I was lent a Rapide S,maybe i am getting old but i much preferred how it drives,the 8 speed gearbox I think is a vast improvement over the 6 speed (I know not every one agrees with this) it actully feels a quite a bit quicker than the DB9,and I like the later technolgy (ami III)

Thanks very much the marina certainly divides opinion but they are not as bad as every one thinks
