My new baby (DBS Volante Manual)
Discussion
After more than 5 years enjoying my "good old V8 Vantage", I finally made the jump last week to a DBS Volante (with manual gearbox!).
Driving with the top down, combined with the V12 sound and the involvement you get from the manual gearbox, makes this the ultimate car for me! :-)
Like in my V8V, my dealer mounted the "fuse 22" button, so I can drive with the valves always open when I want, or close them when arriving home late (it makes the car sound even more special than the V8V, the "button" makes it sound really like a "supercar" :-)).
It has got the modified manual gearbox, which is more smooth (and does not make the "peeping" noise) than before, and as written elsewhere I did the 2011 maps upgrade on the HDD nav system.
Will post some sound/video clips later, but here already some pics:

king gorgeous....
Beautiful!! What colour is it? Quantum silver?
Let us know how it compares with the V8, cos I percieve alot of V8 owners would like to know (including myself).
What do you get when you have a mounted fuse 22; is it a button somewhere on the dash? Are most dealers pretty proficient at 'mounting' fuse 22?
Anyway - enjoy.
