Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

PeterAllan, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for a V12, ever since I heard (or rather didn't hear it was so smooth) a Jaguar V12. Some research showed it to be a maintenance nightmare, as was, surprisingly enough, the Mercedes and BMW V12's!

Inasmuch as I am a Dago and love my Ferraris, I have to admit, the brits know how make the perfect exhaust note.
There is absolutely no better pleasure inspiring, smile inducing sound ever made than a british V12. Nothing.
I went to look at DB9s. Dealer asked if I wanted to drive the Vanquish. I pressed start and that was it.
I had no issues with the V12, drove it daily for a few years. On the contrary, the last 2 MB 8s I've had were dogs, and I'm a double digit repeat customer. Very disappointed.
There are two types of people in the world: those that get things done and those who make excuses. There are no others.
