CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

Last Sunday, while looking around La Ciotat on the Cote d'Azur, we spotted a large yacht in gold paint moored on the far side of the harbour.  On closer inspection we noticed the name of the vessel was 'DB9' and wondered if this was a reference to the Aston Martin model of the same name. We wandered over to get a closer look at this beautiful boat, which could've come from the set of the latest James Bond film.  With 007's connection to Aston Martin I couldn't think of a more appropriate name. We also found out that DB9 is for sale.  The Price? A cool $32million.  That's quite a few DB9 road cars!
