Lovely colour combo, I love iron ore - probably because the press pics were always that colour combo in 2005 and I'd sit there drooling!

As Tony says, get some nicer knobs for the controls, adds to the quality feel.

Standard exhaust? Have you pulled Fuse 22? You'll need to if you've come from a TVR!

I would be very interested to know how a DB9 compares to the Sag. I would have thought the Sag would leave it for dead in the performance stakes. What made you change? Just being nosey, hope you dont mind.
