Aston Martin DBS

OOOoooooOOOHhhh, I’m all tingly, I’m sweaty, I've got a knot in the pit of my tummy, my heart is racing at a 100 miles an hour. Dating Kate Beckinsale is easier to manage.

Pictures of the new James Bond ride for Casino Royale is out!!

I first fell in love with Astons with the DB5 in Goldfinger. Of course at that time, being a scrawny 9 year old, I didn’t know what the heck it was, except it made my loins stir. Yes I lost my virginity to a car, I think. Many years later, 9 to be exact, a chance encounter in the basement car park of the Hilton hotel in Singapore. I was walking past and this incredible rumble started, my head started spinning and there it was, a 1982 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Gawd….what melody, Barry White on steroids, what noise! Now remember, in those days, a 1.6 litre Honda Accord was considered a big car. This was a 5.7 litre V8 starting and rumbling away with a roar ……sigh, even to this day I can remember that day and I lost my boyhood with that car. Many many years later, actually it was 2 years ago, I saw the same car parked at my mom's condo. Damn, where was the owner? I would have finagled a ride.

Now I’m in ogling heaven again. I’ve already seen the DB9 at a show room here and jaw dropping is an understatement.

Based on the racing version of the DBR9.

This is the Aston Martin DBS.

Just look at those curves, better than any playboy playmate.

And that interior! Suede, Titanium and Carbon Fibre. I think I can live in that car.

Somehow, Porsches and Ferraris never quite worked its magic on me. It’s still Astons.

Sigh, gotta wait till November for the flick. Never mind Daniel Craig, I'll be there to see the car. (But I hear he's a great Bond, edgy, closer to the original in the books, so say some)
