Nothing at all lined up P...just had an itch for a while now, so mind is made up, just a question of when I start to make a move...may not even be this year.

Hope it goes well for you enzo.....whatever you buy you deserve the happiness as youve worked hard for it.....now you based in london you go treat yourself as a reward....i know from last time we chatted how much you like the DB9.....would look good in one

They are amazing cars, so versatile... Mine is the best long-distance cruiser or a very sharp (for 1750kgs!) spors car! Would you go coupe or Volante? I really do think the Volante gives the best of both worlds and would be a good foil to the 550. The car is so absurdly stiff as a coupe that even chopping the roof off kept it as the stiffest cabrio ever made. Suspension, throttle response, can all be dialled up for the same sort of money as a 4200/QP. And of course you have heard one with a sports exhaust ;) Have seen a sports pack manual coupe for £50k recently, also another manual Volante, rare but one comes up once or twice a year. Looking forward to chatting about it on Sunday!

You need to have a drive in mine ASAP, that will make your mind up even further. Rick at DMS (the Aston equivalent of Emblem) recently posted on Pistonheads mine is the best DB9 he's ever driven - H&R springs, his own personal geo settings developed for Works Service, lowered 25mm and spacered 15/20mm transformed the handling. The cost of that 'handling', about £1500, it will outrun most things now and feel safe doing so, that's the important part.

Nice idea Lewis...but I will making my last trip in Giulia this Saturday...meeting the new owner in calais, he is coming from Dusseldorf.

If I wasn't at a family function I'd go with you :(

Hmm, what to do with your driving gloves now..? Will definitely have to get a Volante!

What you can't see are Paul and Deano's looks of envy... marvelling at the magnificence of the driving glove in all its glory... :)

Lewis, you know how much I like your car...fell in love with it as soon as I heard it, and then saw it :D
I really hope you do not sell it anytime soon...but please keep me in mind if/when the time comes, after all...I do need an open top for those gloves :D
