Aston Martin at Caffeine&Machine - 5th March from 5pm
Discussion
I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but The Hill at Caffeine&Machine have an Aston afternoon/evening event on 5th March, starting at 5pm. Yard tickets are free.
For those who don't know, the venue is close to Wellesborne and Stratford

I currently plan to be there, so if anyone else attends and sees a tall, opinionated idiot with longish grey hair and a grey goatee in an Onyx 4.7 V8V then that won't be me. Unless you happen to like my contributions to PH, then by all means say "Hi".

The thing that sets my Onyx V8V aside from all of the other Onyx Vantages is mine has a largely "Winter Wheat" interior. And an AMHT badge on the windscreen.

Unfortunately I will be unable to make it on 5th March but I hope you have a great time and I hope the weather gods are kind to you too. BRM. macdeb said:
Just wondered if many turned up? I intended to pop down for a look but couldn't finish in time.
I had meant to give an update as I started the thread, so thanks for the prompt.I got there a little after 5 pm and the yard was already pretty full and a few were parking under the trees. I reckon in total just over 30 Astons, although there were some still arriving and a few departing earlier than me.
There were mainly VH models - Vantages, at least one Rapide, a couple of Vanquish and DB9's. There were a few Second Century cars, (Vantages, a DBSS Volante) and at least a couple of DB7's. Some brave souls even had the roofs down on various Volante/Roadsters. Nothing from Newport Pagnell that I saw. One sole DBX drove through, heading for the back car-park. I thought he might do a "go-around" and park under the trees, but didn't see him(?) there later. An AMG GT also rolled up - I think he thought he might be an honorary attendee due to the engine in his car
McGurk's had turned up with some of their stock (ever the opportunists) and commented that they had sold quite a few of the cars there.
I left as the light was beginning to fade, a little after 6 pm, so I don't know if others arrived later. Daft time and date for an Aston event imho, as many owners work, dusk is still quite early and some cars are still probably SORN'd.
I took a few pictures - some were a bit blurred as the glass I was using doesn't have stabilisation and the light was quite low (and I'm a crap photographer who takes snaps, not photos - Mr Tremlini and others look away now
)
typo fixed

Looks a decent enough turn out given time of day/year as you say. Keep us posted if any others if that's ok? If I see anything else advertised I'll start another thread
