Not often does a dreary wet March day feel like xmas, but it does today. Our latest addition to the fleet has arrived - a 2005 Aston Martin DB9. It's in Ghillie Green (dark green & co-incidentally the same colour as our old DB7 V12) with cream leather.
It keeps all the good bits of the DB7 V12 - the exterior beauty and the mellifluous 6.0 V12, but adds a really comfy and stunningly cool interior and a gearbox that does what you want. It's an auto-driven manual, ie it has clutches rather than a fluid flywheel, and paddles on the steering column allow the driver to dictate the changes.
It drove beautifully back from Rutland yesterday - I think we're all going to be very happy together!
