I love it!!! I've been out the closet quite a while though (regarding
Aston Martins, that is...) so I really enjoyed seeing your article.

Drool,slobber,lust,lust... oops, forgive me, I've got to wipe my monitor...
I've just gotten TBS on my cable system and have been enjoying "James Bond
Nights." I was drooling all over the DB5 in "Goldfinger" the other night
and absolutely squirming over the DB in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
(my favourite James Bond film) last night. Note I didn't say which DB.
I _think_ it was a DBS V-8. What year was the flick...? I forgot to check
the credits. Here are some production years:
DB5 3995cc, 6cyl Saloon/Dhc 1963-65
DB6 3995cc, 6cyl Saloon 1965-69
DBS 3995cc, 6cyl Fhc 1967-72
DB6 MkII 3995cc, 6cyl Saloon 1969-70
DBS V-8 5340cc, V-8 Fhc 1969-?
Anyway, as always, I love any and all Aston Martins. I was especially
pleased to see the DB series continued when the gorgeous DB7 came out!
Cheers!
