On a lighter note peeps, on a recent top gear program a few weeks ago, they had the stig putting an Aston martin DBR9 around the curcuit.
It Looked a total beast, and sounded awsome.
Was anyone there on the day, if so what are your thoughts on it.
also does anyone know of any links to this beasty, video clips and sound files .

One came past me on the way to Donington last night - lovely, lovely machine.

One of the guys I know worked on the DB7 and he's coming round tonight, so I'll ask him if he was involved with the DB9.
