I'm sure everyone knows the plan, but could we have an itinery and times for the day please.

I'm trying to work out just how early I'm going to have to set my alarm to get over there for 10am!

I'm still slightly nervous that you lot might stone my R8!! I assure you all that I'm still very much an Aston fan smile

There does look to be two more spaces as I am pretty sure Behr, whoever he was, is nowhere to be found!

Anyone else? Email me by 12 please!

Pretty tough going scrolling back 2 pages Greg, I barely survived... Luckily I'm here to do that for you smile

"If possible, everyone should aim to arrive at the factory for about 9.45am, this will allow time for signing in and coffee before our hosts commence the tours. All attendees will need to give their names at the security gatehouse on arrival at the Aston Martin entrance. They will then be directed to VIP parking and VIP Reception where everyone will sign in. The tours should be finished by 12.00pm."

Directions:

When on the M40 Motorway (south/north)
Leave at junction 12.
Turn left at the T junction
Right at first roundabout
Drive past the Heritage Centre (on your left)
At the next roundabout take the 2nd exit
At the next roundabout take the 1st exit. (signposted Aston Martin)
At the security gate, please give your name and ask to be directed to VIP Customer
Reception. (Take the first right through the stone gate posts - keep left and follow the signs
to VIP parking. Once parked please walk across the moat and enter VIP Customer
Reception.)
Central London to Gaydon, by road, takes approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

That's all we have, seems very informal. Very much looking forward to it!

Guys, I am going to offer this elsewhere as we have 2 spaces (Behr and his plus 1 are too late) and I don't want to waste them.

Here is the general area showing the Heritage centre and the AM Factory HQ

Map Here

Look at that lovely test track to the left, wonder if it is possible to get lost on the way out via the track.

Does anyone have the knobs from Tony fitted on the Friday tour? Would like a look at them in the flesh so to speak.

Is there a plan for any London / SE inhabitants to meet up somewhere beforehand and convoy up?

If we are, count me in. Planning to leave from central London at 7.45, so maybe we could target a convenient services somewhere on the M40?
