70k mile report

Nothing much to report since 60k mile report. Original clutch that still disengages with same effort. Secondary air injector fault when cheap gas and miserly driving employed. Pilot SS tires wearing well. Soon time for new shocks, but not leaking. I would love to have adjustable dampers and would keep this one forever if it did, perhaps on the next one. I plan on trading at 90K miles. I never planned on driving it as much as I have, but have become comfortable and very fond of driving it, even turned off the driver assist for some fun smokey corners at below 45mph.

Wow. Amazing.

I've read your 10k & 60k report but did not see, are you still on the original clutch?

I strongly believe if it wasn't for Ford's ownership these cars would not be as reliable as they are now. My DB9 so far has been the most reliable exotic car I have ever owned but my miles are still relatively low.

Good to hear it's still going strong! I'm at 45k and other than the well-documented things most early V8Vs have experienced, I haven't had any reliability issues.
