What a great choice, congrats, and welcome to the club..

enjoy in good health, being in florida, the weather is gonna be great now that the hurricane season is coming to an end, unlike here, snow season will be starting soon.. nevertheless, will install winter tires, and still drive it.. or so I still think lol

more pictures, and more importantly, HD videos of DBS fly bys..

hahahaha, that got me searching earlier today too. A couple at 180k does look incredibly tempting.

I think I'll enjoy my V8V a few more years. The goal is to bring it up to 70k miles then retire it.

They say patience is a virtue...I was able to get a deal better than anything publicly listed at the time I pulled the trigger (and with better specs, IMHO).

The only things I've considered are an ECU remap and perhaps some K&N filters. But, this is only because I've never been the modding type and these two items seem straight-forward enough. The only thing I can't quite figure out is whether or not the ECU remap (or flash) is the real deal. My service guy told me today that a remap on the DBS would give me about an extra 15-20 hp and maybe get the top end up to 195. Someone else gold me that I could get around 40 hp boost and an extra 50 lbs/ft of torque from the change. It's hard to know the real numbers without a before and after dyno I suppose.

Nice, you should bring it out to the Mile Marker Event to see what it does in the standing mile!

Feel free to speak with Derk Fisk at Aston Martin of Orlando if you need any maintenance details.

Absolutely! When I buy a car, it doesn't sit in the garage waiting to surprise me with an issue. Because it's a daily driver, with great maintenance intervals, I know I can trust it and so can the next owner.

Will do. Funny, I was just passed through Daytona yesterday on may way back from the Orlando dealership.
