Thats Awesome!
I've never seen a wooden shift noob :P

It's awesome how AM has been able to incorporate that front grill shape into their newest cars so perfectly!

Well, thats certainly enough to make one appreciate the new DB9 a bit more...hardly an "attractive" car eh?


It says its equipped with an auto tranny, so the wooden shift **** is actually wooden gear selector, trivial to be sure but i thought ide sort out the misconception.

Andy I think this car is done by a private company so they could be anything.
