Pictures(finally) and review of my AM DBS

Hi Guys. I finally managed to get the pictures of my Aston clicked. Agreed , these aren't the best pictures or a lot of them , but I promise to post more within a few days.

A little bit of a background story before I proceed with the pictures. This car arrived in Jan of this year and has put on 400 miles so far. Got it from Strastone AM dealer in England. Its a 2009 model. No mods so far, just the fuse 22 pull!

This car is a true GT car. It has torque throughout the rev range and sounds like a million dollars. It is probably the best sounding V12 of our time and this car , IMO , does not need an aftermarket exhaust!

One can comfortably cruise around in it at low speeds and when needed , this car can give you the best 'seat-of-the-pants' experience! The transmission is very smooth and the clutch is very soft and good for daily use. The seats are very comfortable and I am happy with the overall build quality of the interior. The ground clearance is deceptively good!

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. The pictures were clicked by IND Distribution at my behest as they were in India to perform some work on my cars.

Congrats. I love Lightning silver with dark gray wheels. I came very close to buying a car like this last year. I agree with the factory exhaust note but it weighs a ton. RSC has a variety of exhaust that saves weight and adds a couple HP. Please post mods, I'd love to know what an ECU flash would do to this car.

Nice DBS. Question for you having been to India I was wondering how do you drive a car like the DBS with all the traffic, animals, bad roads and what about the quality of gas? I would be freaked to drive over there.

The Registration Authorities require for a certain number of digits to be present on the number plate. Hence I had to get 0007 but I ensured the first zero to be small.

I live in the better parts of Chandigarh and Delhi so no issues of animals or road conditions. We get 97 RON Euro spec fuel which is 93 AKI US Spec, so all good.
