Is that a joke or a dig I can’t work it out. Do you know my car history?
No no. Pepsilol just basically thinks everyone else is a pauper.

Ah I thought that’s what you meant was just checking
Tbh two years ago when I nearly bought a DB9 for considerably more money I may add he was really helpful

Ah that's because he knew you weren't a pauper. You're allowed in the club!

I did have a look online for V12 realiability as much as I could, I found next to no known issues with the engine and that generally it’s pretty strong.
There’s was an issue with oil starvation on early DB9’s and the issue was....the dipstick was too long
which was reading the oil was fully topped up where as the engine should have actually had more oil in.Aston rectified this with a recall by releasing / fitting a new short dipstick to allow more oil to be added.
The issue normally happened over harsh cornering etc.

I wouldn't have thought so after all despite its power it is only 80 odd hp/litre.

So you can have a beer and watch the footie as you drive along? Does it go in the back?

That ram doesn’t look pedestrian friendly

Well I’ll be ****** mate. Is the snorkel for when yer out hunting crocs?

Haha, roll-bar then? (I got used to local lingo for some things!
)Depends on whether you like the pedestrian or not
It gets used properly ...done a few water crossings already

Nice nice. I didn't doubt for a second that it is used properly. Perfect vehicle!
Still got family on my Mums side over there. Would like to go back somewhen but I can't handle the heat...
