Do the Mallory track day with the Aston owners club in April. Great fun, and you get to see all otehr Astons on the track as well. Now we'll see if these new V8 Vantage's are as quick as the old ones...

I wouldn't think Mallory would be a good circuit for a trackday virgin in an AMV8 - it's quite short, hasn't got much run off, and is basically one long corner joined together with 2 straights and a hairpin.

Bedford or Donington would get my vote

Also, if it's your first, then I'd recommend some instruction - I can give you a couple of names if you're interested, one of whom has been involved in the AMV8 dealer training programme.

yer that would be great, im not even going to start to believe that ill bring the car off in one piece if i have no help at first.

The two guys that I know are:

Steve Lewis (email [e-mail])
Simon Mason (www.simonmason.com)

Both are ARDS licenced instructors.

thanks ill email them when i have a better idea when the car may appear.

There is always the Aston Performance Driving Course if you wanted tuition. Don't even use your own car so no risk of pranging it

Millbrook Hill Route is something to be experienced

you need to learn a thing or too about AML... NOTHING IS FOR FREE apart from the bottle of poo when you buy it

[bund]

Bottle of poo, wow...... I wonder if they will swap if for the nice luggage bag i saw in the brochure?

[:J:]

I think if sir get's the Vanquish then the course comes free as well as the bottle of poo, rofl....



IIRC, IMO, whatever other disclaimers there are........
