Just found this forum, very cool site. I don't own an Aston Martin, but hope to some day.
I do carbon fiber work as my profession. I have been looking at Vanquish's online.... predecessor to the DBS; since I cannot afford a DBS.
I love the lines of the car and exotic appeal. I also like that it's British. I do a lot of carbon fiber work for Lotus Elise and Exige's.
I would love to pull " mine" apart and make new cf side skirts ( clear cf ), a lip, and diffuser for the Vanquish.... or a DB9. Also the center console area lends itself nicely to clear carbon fiber work.
I do have some questions about these models... are they reliable enough to be a daily driver? How often are the service intervals for a Vanquish and DB9? On the semi auto transmission with paddle shifters do you have to lift off the gas pedal between shifts during up or downshifting?
