My Aston Martin DBS

[sako97]

Casino Royale is a good film but I can never watch it without laughing at all the Ford product placement: Jaguar, Range-Rover, Ford, and Aston

Indeed, it's probably the most ridiculous instance of automotive product placement. FoMoCo was really struggling at the time so they went all-out, especially with the then new Ford Edge. The number plate Jaguar XJ at 0:19 and the one at 1:09 are the same.

Reminds me of when I watched Matrix Re-loaded and the entire highway chase scene (chase cars and traffic) were GM vehicles. Chevy's, Cadillacs, GMC, etc. just flying everywhere lol.

What a dream machine, very nice. Congrats!

Personally, I'm not a fan of the extra styling touches the 'S' has versus the cleaner look of the DB9 and Virage, but it's still classic Aston styling and I'm sure you must be very happy with it.. V12 engineering, V12 sound and V12 feel FTW!!!

.. I also love that fact you stopped on a street corner to take a photo of the car with a Bond street sign... it must be love

Very classy! All the best with it, may it bring much enjoyment (I'm sure it will) and many safe miles!

It's effectively become my daily driver. 1500mi in just under 2 weeks

1500 miles in two weeks? Do you Uber in it?

A fairly long commute and lots of "let me take the long way".

Motorway miles are the best ones to put on a car.

I would prefer a race track

Is that left leg sore yet from stop and go traffic?

Still can't get used to that shifter.

I seem to have gotten used to both; the clutch feels good. Rather than grabbing the shifter, I rest my palm on it.

The handbrake in between the driver seat and door sill is what I haven't gotten used to yet.

Gorgeous car! I love the styling updates of the DBS over the DB9...but I like aggressive looking cars.

Pending no more snow storms, I hope to stretch the DBS' legs after some time in the garage. Hate to have a garage queen, but road salt and grime means no go.

From last september. The test that had me sold

Even though it's a bit cheesy, the thought did cross my mind

Have fun on a gambling site like James Bond

I still think this movie is the best. And I doubt anyone can convince me otherwise.

I am now tempted to buy a bond box set and watch many of the old ones just for the vibes.
