Ahem....I do believe the greatest ever Bond was played by a sweaty sock. Ok, I realise my case is weak once I use the dreaded word

I'd be interested in a tour if there's a place going. Chris JohnG1 said: Well, someone from AML in Gaydon is reading this thread.
Hello!
We shall await further developments...
I am not being cryptic, I had a conversation with someone from Gaydon and we'll see what they come back with...

I'd be interested in the tour, although at this rate I reckon we'd need to book half the available dates in 2012!

Ok, so we have interest - preferably for a Saturday.
I have a call tomorrow with a gentleman from Gaydon so I'll update then.

Well, good news....
I have had a chat with some folks at Aston Martin and they'd be delighted to offer a special Pistonheads Aston Martin forum factory visit. Has to be a weekday though.
So - there are a maximum of 24 people allowed per day. We have been offered two slots:
Friday 27th April
Friday 11th May
Both days involve a 10am prompt start and finish about midday. Then perhaps off to a pub or a drive?
Also, please do note that any Aston Martin owner can request a factory tour via your dealer. The boys and girls at Gaydon are very happy to see owners have a look round their facility!
Can anyone interested please PM me with the day you want to visit and your real name, email address and a phone number? This is just so we don't end up with a massive great big thread - I have no desire to collect email addresses and will happily destroy the list once we are done. I will update this thread with the numbers of spaces available.
Edit to add - what about we say a maximum of two people per Aston Martin forum pistonheader? So wives, husbands etc. can come along too. Just state that you have a plus one on the email.
Friday 27th April
