Finally making the move to my favourite Aston... the DBS! :)
Discussion
My second Vantage (4.7) will get handed over at the end of the week, after an excellent year's ownership, in order to take delivery of a lightning silver DBS.
Ever since I first drove the DBS back in late 2008, I fell in love with it. I have since driven every Aston extensively, including the V12V, and have firmly concluded without a doubt that the DBS is the best car Aston make for the road.
Looking forward to it!

Can you give a summary of the main differences between V12V and DBS which makes the DBS the better road car for you?My DBS has just completed 27,000 miles including 16,000 on the track. It drives like a dream still. Only minor problems such as drivers door window not locating itself correctly inside the doorseal, and other minor electrical issues.
Other than that its been absolutely superb. The most reliable supercar in the fleet

Can you give a summary of the main differences between V12V and DBS which makes the DBS the better road car for you?It primarily boils down to two things, the ride and the handling (courtesy the longer wheelbase). The DBS is just so well judged for the road.
You might also be interested in what Chris Harris had to say in this little video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9clwjR5zxQ
Is that your car he's driving, Simon?
