You nailed the essentials. Have all of them except the CC Charger which I ordered a couple of weeks ago. It’s not an essential per se, but I also just got a Foxwell NT710 code reader with the Aston software on it.

A cover craft sun shade is also a must have here in the Texas heat. Especially to protect the dash leather from peeling.

Awww Ben, please don’t sell the Aston! Enjoying these DadB9 videos SO much 🙌 Thank you for sharing :)

Hi Ben, thank you for your video!

Guess who just found one of these older seat belt Urban Kanga travel seat on Facebook marketplace 😬 it’s such a versatile piece of kit!! Not had chance to sit the munchkin in it yet but it’s well built and previous owner hardly used it so it’s like new! Will be taking it on holiday later this week! Perfect timing and great recommendation!! Thanks again Ben!!

Cheers Ben! Bought them all on your recommendation! Just waiting for the results of the Pre Purchase Inspection at an Aston specialist and BINGO Onyx black DB9 here we come! Can’t wait! Great job as usual!👍👏👏👏❤️

That exhaust switch is fantastic for when we are going around in our Aston, the ability to just immediately increase and decrease the volume makes it a real must, especially on long motorway journeys. We have the Aston Installations car play system on our Vantage and it is a real must, as you can easily have maps up your music or whatever else, it is so fullfiling to turn it into an actual usable screen rather than the old Volvo it was before. For the trickle charger you really need one and you can get online a solar panel that you put in the windscreen and will charge the car, I imagine it is helpful whilst parking on the street for long periods of time.

Hi Ben. Hope you & family are doing good. Loved the video.

Yep, I was trying to pass a horse the other week without it going nuts😂 Definitely going for the pilot sports when my current tyres are done, the Mrs just got some on her clover leaf Giulietta and they are amazing! Mine is not to bad on the battery, best I’ve had so far is 2.5 weeks standing. Will be sad to see yours go but I’m intrigued as to what you will replace it with.

Great video!!! Thank you! :) Greetings from Germany

To be honest, the Pilot Sport 4 is a no brainier for any car, or bike for that matter, whatever Michelin did for those tyres, they absolutely nailed it. As a biker, tyres are so important to me; for all the fancy tech, there only thing that keeps you on the road is those black rubber circles, so I always try for the best. On the flip side, I’ve never had a Bridgestone, or known someone who had them, two or four wheels that wasn’t crap. I honestly don’t know where the good reputation comes from…

Nasty cough you’ve got there 😂

Maybe worth mentioning why a ctek and not a cheap no name charger. Could about the tech for hours but empirically batteries last longer on cteks than any other charger. I have 18 of them! (And one noco for a 6v).

Perfect, just what i needed for my Skoda Fabia. Jokes aside great video even if I dont own one.

I inadvertently came across your channel via James` channel. I`m very impressed. Great content. I will subscribe

Is there another Bluetooth device you are aware of Ben? I already have the cable in my car so don't need that part of it

I’ve got a more modern Aston (2019 Vantage), but the C-Tek comment still applies. Ask me how I know………..

👍

do ittt x

Is that a dad cars sticker on your headrest? 😂

Your view on the all new DB12?

Deep pockets or a huge fat wallet, that is number 6 essential item cause these cars going to bleed you dry!

You should paint the car in black and put black rims on your Aston Martin

Best money saving essential for every Aston owner: sell it.

Here's something you missed out. Don't buy an Aston Martin. Instead, buy a practical family car that doesn't die after 3 day's of inactivity and has everything inside that you need for practical every day driving at a fraction of the cost. A grand on tyres? Under £200 for my Ford Fiesta Ecoboost. 450 miles on a full tank of fuel. Buckets of torque as they are fitted with a mini turbo. Now that's practical.
