Any Astonites going to the Pistnheads Sunday Service this Sunday? Might be a nice cold blast up the M40, assuming I have my car back it'll bed my tyres in a bit...

Either that or the 911 I suppose frown

Anyone else on the list??

What time does it start? I'd like to go down for the day, but don't fancy setting off really early.

Gates open at 09:00 and it will be a scrum to get on the tour.

That rules me out then, 3 and half hour drive to get down there frown

Do they do a Northern one? If so, when is it? smile

You somehow going to shovel that car out from under the snow ???

Then somehow fix that flat battery - you know it will be Georgeous ???

Then somehow travel a few hundred mile round trip despite being petrified of putting miles on your car ???

Nose bleed time matey wink

When did I say I would be going in the Aston? tongue out

That's staying put until it thaws out smile

Oh, and not checked the battery yet, can't exactly put the conditioner on with it being snowy outside and me being stupid enough to forget to put the cover back on. I'm expecting it to be flat tbh frown

Yup I'm going just to decide which car smile

Cold and a bit miserable = V8 Vantage
Bright & crisp = Caterham

A few of us then, which is good. Maybe meet at Newport Pagnell services for a photo in front of the giant DB5 picture smile

Shmee, if you confirm, fancy company for the drive? Same to any SW Londoner or elsewhere heading the same way!

I'm hoping Mike from Bamford Rose will come to tell poeple about the work they do and are going to do on my car.

Fingers crossed my new brake discs arrive soon...

You're upping the brake discs already? I thought you only just got your Brembos fitted?

My Brembos have not performed well... Discs are warped, possibly due to being incorrectly bedding in, possibly design.

New discs and a more road-focussed pad type are on the way from the Vantage Collection and Brembo, who've both been great. Hopefully they'll arrive in time for BR to get them set up!
