a98pmalcolm Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hey all, So as some of you know I sold my high spec Supra. Its gone to a great home to a real genuine, nice guy of whom is worthy of it to be well looked after and loved. It has remained in the UK and on the owners club. But It was time for me to get something for a few years that won't be so highly modified but something that is still special and relatively quick. So today I bought the most expensive thing I have ever bought and its an absolute pleasure to drive. I have no major plans for it just some tidy ups. Its not going to be everyone's taste but I have always had a soft sport for them. Here is my new toy. A 2007 Aston Martin Tungsten Grey DB9 6.0L V12 with a ton of optional extras. And it sounds amazing... I will still be turning up to some meets, you can't get rid of me that easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Love these.. nearly bought one last year, wish I did, the prices are going up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullthrottle Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Very nice but I don't think the rims do it any justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Very surprising choice but a lovely car mate. My dad has a V8V and I love that. Look forward to hearing it one day [emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Very nice but I don't think the rims do it any justice Thanks, but these where the optional wheels, some spacers and lowering will do nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Holy shiz balls. Lovely mate. What a suitable replacement [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Looks awesome! I will be very interested to see what you think of the car and maintenance over the next few months.... Aston is definitely on my list!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Beautiful. Very nice choice Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz01 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I prefer the DB9 to the V8 Vantage. One of the best colours too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nice id love a california sage db9 coupe at dome point, still one if the best looking cars ever imo, especially these earlier cars. Also, the stock exhaust manifolds look very restrictive, some tubular ones with free up some power, but more importantly they will make it sound properly exotic.

ozz Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 10 year old aston seems a brave choice but that does look mint. Be interesting to see how you get on as I have a friend considering something similar. Just to add, that engine looks like a thing of beauty, I'd love to hear it.

a98pmalcolm Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thanks Gents Its really is a lovely car, Will be going back to the dealer for a few imperfections to be corrected. Its sounds amazing, even more so how I have done the fuse 22 removal so the exhaust actuator is always open I will try and get some videos soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That's a fantastic looking interior, it looks brand new. Love it. That said, £535 for the annual tax bill would be just too big for my very tight pockets. Enjoy! It looks fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks Fellas, yer tax is a monster payment lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Very exotic! That'll have the neighbours gossiping I'd be keeping well under the rev limit and touching wood frequently, hate to think of the bills if it throws a wobbly, be interested in how reliable it proves, I have to say owning it would give me the willies Pose value immense though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Nice! Bet they had to use a monster sized shoehorn to fit that V12 under the bonnet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
