I’m a dad of 2 (9 months and 5 years old) and considering buying a 2014 DB9. I can’t actually believe this channel exists and going through all the DB9 videos. Great content and thank you. I’m a complete newbie to this car world so all this advice is appreciated!

Hi Ben. I really liked this video. Watching it made me so happy to see you driving your old ‘9 and smiling so much.

Awesome, thank you very much for turning the DadB9 into such a special car. The whole team at BR are masers of their craft and super friendly. I’ll see you again soon when we collect it and see the finished paintwork! 🤩

I watched Jay`s video when he spent £10,000 and it seems it was very well spent. Hopefully The AM won`t have any more expense other than basic annual servicing by AM people ( Bamford Rose ) Looks like someone is going to get into a good `un.

What a bloody lovely guy. Cheers from NZ mate. Love your channel along with James and Jack at No. 27. I'm sure somewhere down the track you'll find a way to get another DB9 on your driveway. And your girls will be queuing up for the keys!!! 🤣

Really interesting feedback. I am looking forward to buy a DB9 in ~4 years and was thinking about getting a few upgrades (starting with the engine map for fuel economy) every year while doing the annual servicing at Bamford Rose. (I'm french so it will be during a week off 😅) Thanks for the video. Long live the Dadb9

You’ll always have those family memories, Ben. I’d feel exactly the same, but would try and see it as James ensuring the DadB9 lives on for a lot longer in the lifestyle it deserves. As a wide eyed mid-twenties car enthusiast, I remember these launching and being besotted by the looks from day one. I’d also bite his hand off if I had the spare cash 😂

I'm afraid I just simply look at DB9's like I do Bentley Continentals. No lust, they've had their time. For the price I'd much rather get a car with more classic longevity like an R8 or or 996/997 911. DB9's will be like the DB7's soon enough. They are just fancy expensive badges...same for RR.
