Doesn't say anything in Aston's letter about having to arrive in an Aston Martin smile


Is anyone staying up the night before around the area? Bit of a trek for me in my Audi DB8.

A very nice lady at Aston Martin has agreed, just this once, to increase Friday's trip to 26 people so that both Rob and Molly can attend! I'm very pleased seeing it was my mess up that everybody can come now.

Does anyone know Behr personally and can contact him?? Time s running out, names done by tomorrow afternoon...
