Valkyrie at Caffeine& Machine. The Hill. April 27th.
Discussion
By popular demand (well, by macdeb) I've spotted another Aston Martin event being held at The Hill location of Caffeine&Machine, which is near Wellesbourne and Stratford.
They are, apparently, holding a collaboration weekend with "Supercar Driver" (no, me neither) on 27th and 28th April, and Valkyrie will form a part. Probably easier if I just quote from the C&M page which is here https://caffeineandmachine.com/whats-on/caffeinema...
"You might want to save these dates….On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 April, Caffeine&Machine and Supercar Driver are teaming up for the third year in a row for a weekend highlighting the best of the best from the world of supercars. Supercar Driver members will be bringing their incredible range of metal down to C&M’s Yard for several themed slots across the weekend":
Saturday 5pm-10pm
Heroes: Aston Martin Valkyrie – A night celebrating the engineering, development, and production of the Valkyrie.
Disclaimer - I have no connection with C&M other than I occasionally (pay for and) drink their coffee and let people look around my V8V while I wander around the yard looking at other people's rides. I have no idea what they are proposing during the 5 hour "Valkyrie" slot.
As I hadn't heard of it I did some Googling: "Supercar Driver" is apparently a club for, unsurprisingly, people who own supercars. For a few hundred a year you can get access to all sorts of events with like-minded people who also own supercars.

So I suspect it'll be a club where most people press their noses against the outside of the glass while the people on the inside hope they are being envied. As you can probably tell, a VH Vantage V8 does not qualify you for membership, but some aero and centre-locks or an extra 4 cylinders will. I'm not in the least bitter.
For those curious about what does constitute a Supercar, there is a list here

I found some of the choices ....interesting
Not sure at this stage if I'll go along for the Valkyrie slot
