This thing was in my parking space today!!

I feel a slight amount of negativity towards my new motor. Where's @Drago! I'm sure he'll admire it!!

 

[NorthernDave]

What do you reckon to this ? I couldn't resist! The insurance is quite high and don't even mention the 'road tax'! but you only live the once!!

No longer a proper Aston Martin nowadays - essentially a Merc in a posh frock now.

If you're gonna drive a fancy car you should at least learn how to park it properly.

it's not the most aesthetically pleasing Aston Martin, which is usually a brand i can admire... in fact, that's rank!

They look a lot better IRL , they have a real presence.

As opposed to a 1970's Jag in a posh dress?

@Accy cyclist - it's a DB11. Not for me, thanks.

No its a V8 Vantage

236grams/km £485 VED/year. plus additional VED till 2025

low 20s mpg. Quite economical

I suspect the running costs will create a change of mind soon

Useless, won’t get a full sized bike in the boot

i bet the kids would destroy it in about 1 minute too with all the crap that appears from nowhere too

The DB9 is an absolute design classic that will look great forever, no matter how fashions may change,

Personally I like the same era V8 Vantage, drove one a few years ago, huge disappointment. they say never meet your heros

I'm not a big car fan but when one of these appeared at a petrol station just down the road from my house I did have a bit of a drool, still the best Aston for me.

Nice car - I'll bet the owner of the petrol station was pleased to see it too.

I remember maybe 10 (?) years ago seeing a whole pack of these in their own series (?): racing at Snetterton.

Can’t beat a nice cheap way to get into Motorsport 🤦‍♂️ 🤣
