    Re: Picked up my SL65 today ;)

    How does the DB9 compare to the Cs... The carrera should be quite a bit more accelerative + agile while the AM should be "smoother", more comfortable but also more "elastic" because of the bigger engine @ more torque???

    I know the interior of that car is very nice.
    BTW, i think the M6 looks quite niceIMO. + a M5 in metallic black=GORGEOUS..

    the DB9's acceleration is quite similar to the Carrera, it's not AS comfortable as one would think (maybe because the road i was on was $%#@$%#%), the ride is about the same as the SL with it's ABC suspension on. the carrera definately feels more light and agile BUT you need to hear that DB9!!! omw it sounds incredible! btw that car is standing in Bloomsbury's showroom still right?

    Re: Picked up my SL65 today ;)

    The owner has 2 exotic car showrooms, one in town, Bloomsbury, where most of the best cars are kept. And 1 on Durban road close to Tygervalley shopping centre, that ones named after himself: Ashleys. (maybe you know where?).
    The AM is standing by the latter 1. BTW its just about a 5min drive to get there from where i live.
    I was there last week so thats when i saw it.. Took some pics, i'll try to post it soon..
    Another thing, at Bloomsbury there was a greyish - silver(almost like seal) Murci Roadster. They started it up and of course, its indoors so that sound was incredible. It really is a sexy car but i will never see mysely buying/getting one. The Galla does it for me.

    I never quite like AM's but after i saw it i fell in love...I'll never take one over a P but nonetheless its an awesome car. So beautiful. Its kinda like P, not very flashy & over the top but those lines...

    the owner has 3 other showrooms here in gauteng , the business started 26 years ago

    and i totally agree with your comparison between the AM and a Porsche, not flashy and over the top, very elegant
