Thank You !!

Good morning everyone, well it's morning on the European side of the world now

@jaymoney: Thanks for the welcome, it's Meteorite Silver, to be honest, It's very close to Quantum, and I thought it was until the Sales man brought a Quantum DBS and parked it next to it, then I realized it was a bit lighter..

@orangegrower: Thank you

@markesq: Thank you, what part of FL are you? I graduated from UCF in Orlando back in the 90's..

@DetomasoGTS74: hehehe, if only I got a nickel for every time someone asked me that when I show them the picture lol.. The Aston Martin dealer in Vienna is "Karner Group Austria" they are also the dealer for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Land Rover. Part of their service is to store cars for customers, so to answer your question, the black car in front of the DBS in the pictures is a 1996 Ferrari Testarossa

@Superman07: I wish you best of luck, and hopefully one day you will get it.. I dreamt of the DB7 back in the days, then the DB9, then the DBS.. and today I got it..

@Fab 5: I love the sound of the car as well, I hate revving it though, I think it's a bit obnoxious, but when it growls as you turn it on.. man that's sexy

Thanks everyone for welcoming me, this thread will be for my pictures and videos of the car.. I love photography as well, I helped a friend once to make a nice photo session for his Porsche, here are couple of pictures I have taken for his car..

Congrats, it's beautiful! I hope you don't mind if I add a couple pics of one in lightning silver that was at the dealership where I got my Vantage. They are just stunning!

The more the merrier.. Can never turn back DBS pics

I have an issue with DBS Volantes though.. a car like this shouldn't be a convertible, it's like making a DB9R convertible.. In my head, it never made sense that cars like these would be made convertible..

A DB9 on the other hand would be great as a Volante..

Now I see it! The signature taillights (with the horizontal lines were mostly blocked) but you can really tell in the rear fender. Thanks!

BTW, I agree with you on the drop top comment.

@SuperleggeraGT3: I would never go otherwise , my life is based on driving and riding, this is my passion in life.. I have owned few good cars in the past, I also do some racing recreationaly.. and love riding bikes.. speed bikes, Harleys, you name it, I ride it.. Go off roading.. I will attach few pics of my rigs and bikes..

PS, The Red 999 Ducati was rental, I went on a tour around Italy on that bike. But the Silver Hardcore is mine. This is me driving the Formula car in Palmer Sport in UK..
