A Sleek mean machine....... Aston Martin DB9

Purely a dream come true. This mean machine was show cased at the 2007 Melbourne Motor Show. I was lucky enough to get to see one from my own eyes. I was only equipped with my trusted Nokia N73 to get a picture of this car. But I believe no camera can capture the true beauty of it rather than seen it from your own eyes.

Aston Martin DB9 is my all time favorite car. And it truly is a breath taker. I have visited there website and got this info of the car.
