Its an amazing machine, only good in small doses mate
delco714 April 22, 2010 at 7:15 pm: why do they sit so close to the wheel?
DB7Volante April 22, 2010 at 7:35 pm: @shadowscreecher Well, as much as Aston Martins look absolutely perfect in black (this one especially) Bond drove his Vanquish in silver, and his DBS in a sort of dark silver/ gunmetal-ish color. I do agree, though, that Astons should be black. Or silver, or gunmetal.

You want to be relatively close so you can twist more with your arms without them hitting each other in emergency conditions

shadowscreecher April 23, 2010 at 1:05 am: eh an aston martin isnt to draw attention… its really to be sleek and smooth. Get an Aston in black. Supposed to be James Bond remember?
RoyalGrigsby April 23, 2010 at 1:17 am: Real car people don’t sit on cars!
bigbad1000do7a April 23, 2010 at 2:03 am: ASSTRALIA
xchrisbobisx April 23, 2010 at 2:25 am: interesting, certified used 2005+ db9s only cost about 5-10k more than a v8 vantage. i guess that little row of LED lights are more popular than they appear.
