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

8.15 Beaconsfield Services it is. Can I propose meeting at the fuel pumps rather than the main building?
Hopefully I will be in a position to meet up too. Time may be a bit tight for me as I have to drop my kids off first. I'm in a black V12V. See you all tomorrow. Hope it stays dry! AMGreg said:

Its about a hour from Beaconnsfield depending on traffic, so we don't need to leave until 8:30 if that helps.But as you've got a V12V I'm sure you'll catch up if we don't see you at Beaconsfield!

Thanks Neil. Don't hang around for me just in case. I'm coming up from the Gatwick area and you can never tell with the M25?! See you tomorrow! But as you've got a V12V I'm sure you'll catch up if we don't see you at Beaconsfield!
Billiant morning at AM. Thanks to Mulder (or was it Scully?) for guiding us round and accepting our (sometimes stupid) questions.
Saw some fantastic cars being made, I won't discuss the colour schemes too much as they are possibly heading for owners on here! Suffice to say there were a couple Gulzar would be proud to own, and the Dragon cars with their red interiors were certainly gettting attention.
Was good to see the ladies sticthing the leather, remarkable to watch them work only yards away from the guy putting the seats together, while on the other side of them the team stitching door cards (some with really nice quilting) were working. A real eye opener for me.
I think the next pub quiz will have some new questions, how many bolts hold the DB9 body (perfect 50/50 weight balance) to the drive train will certainly feature
Good to meet a few members, thanks to Lewis for sorting this out.
(now, do I buy a Cygnet or not? )

Just back too. Thanks to all at AM for a great and very informative visit - well recommended and great that they seem so happy to do it for us.
Thanks to Yeti also for arranging it all.
Great to see a One-77 in the metal too
Thanks to you all for not throwing eggs at my R8 - I made a sharp exit before you did.
My car of the day??
This one (did like the colour though!)
