Hi and first post!

Hi folks,
After skulking in the shadows on PH for a few months now, peering between the threads, it's about time I showed myself! Seems only right to introduce myself properly! The P&J has been SORNed since September and the withdrawal symptoms are getting more and more difficult to live with!
I took the plunge and invested my rainy day fund in a 2008MY DB9 sports pack Manual in March last year. Here's the obligatory pic:
Loving every minute of driving it, learning more about it, staring at it! Only ever considered a manual with the sports pack. I enjoy the cog swapping and heel and toeing too much to give that up just yet! But it also seemed to make sense as an investment too. Just had to hunt a little bit harder to find the right one!
April can't come soon enough! In the meantime the PH gossip will (I'm sure!) do just nicely! If anyone's in the Beds/Herts area say hi!

You have bought a stunning car, congratulations! I have been thinking about changing my wheels for the Sport ones for a while. After seeing your car I have decided to do it!

Lovely car. I've never been a fan of black before but on DB9s it looks absolutely stunning, picks out the subtle reflections a treat. You are going to be doing a lot of detailing from now on!
Thanks guys! Yeah, I agree the sports pack wheels and suspension do give the car a more purposeful look over the standard car. It's Onyx black and had just been detailed before I picked her up. It was boring black or silver/grey for me when looking, but to be honest, finding a sportspack manual was most important. In reality I wanted a manual DBS but there was no way I could stretch that far, so this seemed like the best option. It looks a bit moody in that photo with the dark background (from the original listing) I do agree. When not it's not in the garage I'm driving it, so must make time for some more photos in the spring! SORNed it for the winter and arrival of our first little sleep thief!
