Well, I'm into my second day and have to say it's a totally different experience to the other sports cars I've had.

I feel like driving all day long. I drove over to Cardiff this morning and if it weren't illegal, it felt like she would have sat at 100 all day long (not that I went over 70 though ;) )
Loving sports mode and manual gear changes, 24 hours of ownership so far and already 360 miles put on the clock ! The misses has even offered to get trained in the art form of washing and polishing the car !!! How's that for a result ?

Can't concentrate on work now though knowing the car is sat outside in the sun wanting to be driven :) I hope this feeling wears off after a couple of years. Finishing early today so I can carry out the first baptism on the drive and start the training program for washing and polishing for the misses.

Loving it

Nah, I'd pray it stays!

Intersting that you've had a DBS - how does that compare? They're one of the few cars I look at in the classifieds along with the GT-S (though I'm a long, long way from buying either!)

Woody, the DBS I had was 1973 vintage ............ a beast to say the least :) I too dream of the new one though.

It was a lovely car. A beast to drive though :) No power assistance as we know it today.

1971 actually not 1973.

Search google for reninjapan and it's at the bottom of the page under "Paul's Web Page" - not sure why it won't let me post a link to the website !
