Given the remarkable effort by Ed50 in putting together such a fabulous weekend back in July below is a link to a short video memento of the day that we had promised to produce.

The video is based around a chat with Andy Palmer who was enjoying the day as much as any of ussmile. [Extra Q&A at the end for true Aston geeks on his first 18 months at Aston, Gearboxes and Rapide's!]

Thanks once again to Ed and to everyone who helped raise the staggering £46k for charity smile

Great video. Thank you.
I've been fortunate enough to have a brief moment or two of Andy Palmer's time at a dealer launch. He was very approachable and keen to listen to what his customers think. It seemed to me that he has a genuine passion for the brand. I think that this essential quality along with his obvious business acumen bodes very well for AM. I just hope he gets the continued shareholder backing he so richly deserves. I am sure that he will.

Great video.

Though you may want to edit out when the poor chap says "Nissan" by mistake at 6.08.

Agree with your sentiments James and I think you need only see the twinkle in his eye when he starts talking about his classic V8 Vantage to see the enthusiasm; he's a lot like us smile

Thanks for the other positive comments chaps on what was a very quickly produced vid smile

Spot! But 'twas only a 'Nis'. Anyway Astons aren't fazed by a Micra or a Juke - not even a Nis(mo) wink

Thank you for posting Dewi.

Excellent video, and I very much I enjoyed watching.

I did notice the 'quick fire' very short duration, excitement shots at the beginning. I know that I am rather old fashioned with this modern film/edit technique, but about 10 seconds per shot gives me time to study each individual scene.

Haha

Trying to match forum names to real life people...

I believe my wife and I sat on the same table at the dinner the night before Burghley before retiring to the courtyard to finish our drinks!

Ahh gotcha - you'd only just had your Aston hadn't you? Hope you and your lovely wife are enjoying! Do sympathise on the confusing names/handles thing- not sure I get the balance right between keeping a bit of online privacy/distance and having a right old made up name lol wink

I liked that bit as my dog features at 30 sec in! Apart from that it's a good enjoyable interview. Thanks for posting.
