Default JUST GOT BACK FROM GOING OUT IN THIS pics

my uncles new motor

and i must say, i would never have thought i could fall in love with a car

the sound is out of this world, SEX is the only word that can describe what is vibrating thru your lug holes at any given time







aston DB9

its a 6.0 litre v12 and i think is around 480bhp, it pulls very hard and is a quick motor, had thumbs up from a biker and a few other motors whilst we were out.

MAN this car turns head, a real posers car everyone jus stares. MAN i wish i was rich

saw couple old gimps who i used to go school with, i smiled but they just stared as we stopped thru the highstreet in traffic

i love it

as you tell im still buzzin PMSL

fantastic cars. so good looking, probably the best of all time

i worked on the development of the vanquish with lotus back in the day with basically the same engine. one of the first to use the active exhaust technology to produce such a fantastic sound when you want it

if money was no object, the db9 would be the one car that i would own i think

Very nice mate.
At least you can console yourself in the knowledge that your servicings are cheaper than his

My vote, it is the BMW engine in the Aston V12.

Just like the Jag XJ220 ran the old BMW 750 engine.
