Gbduo - don't believe the myth. Maybe true of pre Gaydon cars but they are now very reliable, biggest issue is electrical gremlins if you don't keep trickle charging them the like to sip a few amps when not running and a few gallons when they are 
There is a great buyers guide and history book available http://www.astonmartinreview.co.uk/
Nick - coming from you that is praise indeed. The reviewers are pitching this against GT3's but I think they are wrong it is not as raw. It's not typical Aston though, but boy is it a good package!

The Aston does seem to be far more of a road car. A roadster even. Except for my roads, where the S2000 has a small width advantage over the NSX.
Oh well...

One up for the Jacky Slags 
About time we met up again!
Nottm_S2 - last one was a early 4.7 standard vantage roadster, DB9 is pipe and slippers and too big for my liking, this is big enough coming from an S2000. The colour really doesn't come across on a photo. It is just like the TVR flip colours and changes with the light and angle. Bit more subtle than some of the TVR ones though
I've just realised i've gone from a 420BHP Jap S to a 430 BHP british S

Very nice indeed Mikey 
I like the colour.
Much prefer it to the old one, and seems like a step forward in technology.
Do you notice the difference in the paddshift? Big power jump?
Pics with roof up?
