DMS Charity Day - Sunday 26th of September

[rick-derby-]

Hi all finally getting everything sorted for the open day as per last year everyone is welcome, The main difference from last year will be some fund raising for a children's charity, we will have approximately 20 children who have various disabilities or illnesses to be invited on the ride out just to put smiles on faces and give them some great memories, as we did last year, speaking to Nicola from umbrella recently she said "the children are still talking about it",

Full details will be on my site shortly, with information on the auction and donations etc, as said everyone is welcome so anybody with a super car, classic or something a little different who would like to attend it would be gratefully received, and a special thanks to everyone who came last year it really was memorable,

What a great idea! I've got a very nice 4.7 V8 Vantage Roadster. What time does the event start and finish? Let me know and I'll check the diary to see if I can join you!
Thanks

Rick,

I no longer have the Aston so there's no point in me offering rides (Audi A6 diesel anyone?? No????), but I'm happy to help if you need a pair of hands for anything. Contact me offline with your thoughts.

Hmmm. Yes I do. But these are children. They want to remember the day as a happy one. Not as the day the scary clown approached them trying to sell a book on Aston V8's...

Of couse, we could always raffle it. I'm sure Rick or his partner would happily model it if we raffle it...

Rick if you want to update your list my car is a DB9 volante, and i will pop in as i have some gifts for you to auction

[jonamv8]

Rick, I'm in the midlands and think (without checking with the missus) im free, would be more than happy to come in the V8. Let me know.

Great cause and good work by y and your team

[GPM3D]

Oh bugger!
That's the same day as my local Porsche Club annual show at Arley Hall where I'm meant to be displaying both my V8 & 993!
Sorry Rick - cant make it!

Sadly I have a wedding on the saturday and wont be fit for purpose the following day. Wish you every success!

[paddy328]

Im going to ask a few clients of mine if they fancy going, its seems a very worthy cause.

[Mako V12V]

Rick - i attended this last year in my silver 911 GT3 but this year will hopefully be attending in a proper car!

[rick-derby-]

Francis that would be great and Phil congratulations on your new acquisition she looks stunning but the old one didn't look bad and the kids loved it,



but the new one is in another league,



Hopefully see you again this year,

[yarny873]

Hello Rick, As discussed during my MOT happy to support with my DB9. Also have a friend who would like to bring along his AC Cobra. 1973 V8 5.7. weather permitting.

I asked him to describe it: "Very loud, lot of chrome and a classic shape.... everything children want even those in their middle age". Hope thats ok.

New to this forum, so hope to put some faces to the names in September.

Cheers, Scott.

Rick, how are you doing for cars? Do you have enough yet?

I'm sure a few Midlanders can be persuaded to come along in some interesting cars, sadly there are not any Aston Martin's that I know of though.
