Today i also saw a DB7 ( in BRG)
A maserati 3200GT
3x 350z's
and an Evo 8
However i didnt get pictures as i was in a moving car on all occasions, and my camera takes over 10 seconds to start up, which its bloody useless for car spotting!

as I said before........lucky fuck!
thx for the pics dude, the car is gorgeous!
Indeed... a nice spot, Tom 8)
The few that i have seen were on the m-way going through Newport Pagnell.... and one at the services :)
Obviously the owner was a nice guy, and he must have just got it... "05"s were only out a few weeks ago
Wow.. Stunning car :D.. Yesterday you was jalous at me but now you're sitting in a DB9 as well ;).. Lucky bastard.. Someone near my school also owns a DB9 :D..
Edit- Do you have more pics?

I only saw one once, it was parked in Hasselt. I asked my dad to park our car so I could have a closer look. Too bad I didn't have a digicam with me.
It had exactly the same color. Too bad actually, I think it looks much better in blue or black.
Still, it's a breathtaking sight in any color IMO!!
EDIT: nice story too (I've just read it in the other topic)
It's cool if the owner is nice to you and lets you take a couple pics.
You can see everyone closeby is staring at the car

damn dude, that would be fine enough!!
I remember spotting a Vanq in Italy and I must say until this day no car has ever made such an impression on me. Having seen F40's, an F50 Diablos, a Macca etc. the Aston is still number 1 for me. It's a shame my parents were in a hurry and I couldn't wait for the guy to start the engine :(

like i said in the names to faces topic, although you couldnt hear an awful lot when he backed it out, when he pulled out of the car pack and went behind where i was stood, he absolutely floored it so i got the full sound of a 6.0 V12

An Aston Martin is always a nice sighting. But with such a nice owner, it's even better. I've only once heard a DB9 screaming in real life, my god, it's a nice sound.

Lucky bastard :P most astons are simply gourgeous, the DB9 perhaps the pick of the bunch and such a nice owner too :D BTW did you put the seat up or do you not live up to your midget title anymore :P

ive said it before - im still a short arse, but no longer a midget - im wayyy bigger than my mum (shes the reason im a short arse) and my sis who is actually average height. At my school im still among the shortest int he year, but im not THE shortest by a long way.
An AM sighting is always soo nice! Maybe in UK it isn't as special as here in continental Europe, but still.. yesterday I got a marvellous black Vanquish and as always it felt so... British!!
On a side note, not wanting to be picky or just an asshole, but you should focus a bit more when you take your pics. I am talking about the framing ;) I know very well the excitment in such occasion and it often causes some messing up, but when for the second pic, it is really a pity not to have the whole car in it!
In the first it is ok, but you could have waiting for that guy to be out of the way :P
Oh yes and if I am writing this it is just because, when I look back at some of my pics I am like :roll: :oops: and I wonder why I didn't wait some more or just took another pic ;)
Nonetheless, a marvellous sight for sure

thanks for the advice TT, i know what your saying about framing yourself for good pics, but in those cituations, especisally ehn the car is on the move, you dont always have the time to arse about getting the right, shot, althoguh in that situation i did miss out half the car, which lets be honest, is pretty piss poor.
I guess i was just too excited to think straight.
