Hi Parsec, I noticed that you've reviewed an automobile FAC before and I'm wondering if you could possibly leave your comments on this FAC about the Aston Martin DB9? (This is my first nomination). The source and image review have both been passed, so I think that, because this is my first, it will need quite a lot of supports.
