Aston Martin Gaydon 14th December

[Molly GT]

Anyone else going to Gaydon tomorrow? If so Rob GT & I look forward to seeing you for a bit of Aston festive cheer!

What's going on, some sort of owner's club event? Can't find anything in the stickies...

[Molly GT]

Not really sure! We got a call today from our AM dealer - someone else couldn't make it tomorrow and would we like to go. Factory tour, lunch, some sort of AM motorsport stuff (see the race cars, someone giving a talk?) in the afternoon. How could we say no?!

My better half and I will see you there , we hope to make it early enough for the tour.

cool. have a great time. Need some ballast tommorow??

[Molly GT]

Thanks. We know we will enjoy it - they know how to look after the guests there don't they. We visited last year before taking delivery of our V8V which was replaced by a V8VS in the middle of the year. I think this will be Rob GT's 4th factory visit He loves visiting the birthplace of his babies and gets particularly emotional when he gets to the bit where you see the engines hanging up

Initially I said I couldn't make it tomorrow as it was such short notice to get time off work plus I am fighting off a nasty cold. However my boss agreed it was too good to miss so I'll be the one they issue with a face mask before letting me in to the factory (that's if they let me in!)

Hope you and Rob have a great time Molly - insist on seeing the One-77 'lab' and I'm not really sure if they are yet ready for the Rapide, so it should be very interesting

I will be there so see you guys at the factory for some festive fun

Wifey and I had a great day today at Gaydon,I enjoyed the tour....again, it was wifeys first, met a lot of nice Aston minded people and enjoyed a very nice lunch. Wish I could've put a few names to faces on here as I'm sure a few of you went, but there was a few more there than I expected and I am the shy type sorry.

[Molly GT]

Yes, a good day & more people than we expected too. We were on Broughton's table and have lots to report. I think we are going to start a new thread to keep our fellow Astonauts (thanks for that term Yeti - I quite like it)informed.

De rien ma chérie

Sounded like a great day out, need to get my local dealer onto that type of thing. Service time coming soon, wanted WS but HWM far more convenient and not undergoing restructuring!
