Depends if it's a manual? If it is, then it does everything your V12V does and more...

I saw a Lightning Silver DBS on the M1 a few months ago and thought that it looked stunning, surely the best colour for this car. However it wasn't going as fast as mine so think I will stick with the V12V. wink

Oh, and it has the boot mounted umbrella so the most important option is fitted....

That's a stunner - agree about the wheels as well!

Gotta feel sorry for the poor mug person who has taken a GBP80k haircut on that.

Probably would have been better to buy Greek bonds!

I like the boot mounted umbrella! Never used it once mind, but it looks nice smile

Not a fan of the carbon fibre door pulls or the alcantara seats in that, but other than that it is stunning. I'm liking Lightning silver more and more every time I see it.

I'm struggling with the "and more" bit. Two tiny rear seats or a larger luggage platform? (and a smaller boot) confused

I will try and keep this clean....

I got mine out once to show the beautiful blonde. She thought it was large but the light in the tip was a bit excessive...

Well it's definitely a man's umbrella. No doubting that!

I come and go - depends on whether I have gone full retard or not.

I just saw your profile (not like I am a stalker). If you do want to have a look at a Mako V12 let me know. There's me and MakoV12 on here and he's up the other side of Hadrian's Wall...

Given the shocking bid they just made for my V12V I'm not sure I'll be back there in a hurry....

Now, where's the smiley for 'flounce off in a huff'?
