I had seen you before on the silver screen but didn't really notice you as such, too busy enjoying the story lines, but the first time i laid eyes on you in the flesh, I was with my brother at the exhibition centre in Glasgow looking at all the cars we couldn't afford. Sitting in them imagining what it would be like to own and drive a brand new shiny car. Then I saw you, I mean really saw you. Resplendent, curvaceous and sexy as hell in British racing green. A car hand built to perfection, every inch carefully and lovingly crafted. A shiny beast of a V8 under your Vantage bonnet. Hand stitched leather upholstery, walnut dashboard, 20" alloy wheels. A funny feeling erupted in the pit of my stomach when I laid my eyes upon you. Butterflies, adrenaline, I don't know, but you were the first. Then later came your big brother, DB9, all curves, with a seriously sexy ass, highly polished in gun metal grey. A big V12 purring under the hood. You let me touch you as I was older and wiser. I traced by fingers along your wing, entranced by your performance aerodynamics. Little did I know that one day you would let me drive you. All 510 horses under my control. I feast my eyes upon your beauty, the sounds you make are music to my ears, you give me an adrenalin rush each and every time. You are my first love, and the flame will never go out.
