Never got on with the looks of the DB9. Call me a heretic, but I think the front looks like a fish!

I am also allergic to 4 seaters (no matter how vestigial the rears). I have, you see, yet to feel the urge to grow up properly biggrin
LOL..... but it is a VERY good looking fish biggrin

arrrr but thats were your wrong......I am the second owner of my DB9.....it came with 14 months AMLE warranty ......its done 23k miles and is totally as new.....The guy a bought it from paid £113440.00 I paid a lot less than 50% of that. The last 2 Astons Iv'e owned I made a profit on.....not a very big profit, but a profit......I might loose 10k over 18-24 months or about the same as owning a Audi A4

Remember the wise words of Winston Churchill "people who buy new cars are either fools or rich" ( made the Winston Churchill bit up smile

well further to what mr gould is saying i agree if i was in the same fortunate position. Now trying to get you guys back on topic, if again it was me then i would play with the car, but also in subtle cosmetic changes to make a little more unique to myself. I would also have the engine tweaked with but by actually having engine work done, an ecu is last resort for me. i have a ford mk2 escort and currently having a 2.3 engine built for it. This is nothing for you guys but just thought i would share. Enjoy driving my dream car guys and maybe in a few year ill be able to join you in owning the dream!
