Discussion
Molly GT said:
Robgt + Molly GT - I haven't discussed with himself yet but I know he would love this (just to be different we have a JLC clock).
Atmos owners are VERY welcome 
You will love the room where they make them and the display room with all the ones they have ever made on the shelves.George H said:
If its limited to people rather than cars I think +1s should be banned from the tour.
I should be ok for a 3 day trip but don't want to spend any longer
+1s to be banned from the tour eh George - bit harsh don't you think? There may be +1s who love watches more than you love your car! I can see you have about as much love for wives/gf's/partners as you do for children - not single by any chance are you?! I should be ok for a 3 day trip but don't want to spend any longer
So - are you putting your name down to join in or not? We are looking forward to the chance of meeting you for a big group hug

Single because I choose to be! That way no one can tell me what to do/what to spend MY money on So - are you putting your name down to join in or not? We are looking forward to the chance of meeting you for a big group hug
I'll stick my name down on the list when the date/duration are confirmed

Watch out George Molly is starting to bang her sword on her shield!
Always a bit of a 'Queen of the Iceni' vibe about Molly!I'll put Mrs Yeti down for the tour, we drove to Geneva before to try and visit the manufacture but they couldn't accomodate us. I'd like her to understand my fascination with watches as well.
If she can't come on the tour, pretty sure she won't come on the trip!
Statisticians, who is coming on this tour and the Northern roll-out..? Might be able to get her along in that case :scratchin:
George, think it's confirmed as the 8-9-10-11th. 2 days to Geneva (from Calais, overnight in Beaune), one day at the manufacture and the environs, one day back, or two if you fancy a leisurely trundle through perhaps the Black Forest. And by leisurely trundle, I mean fast drive on empty winding roads

4 weekdays is a no from me I'm afraid 
Would really love to visit a watch factory too, I love seeing how things are made.

George (bless him) was never intending to drive all that way or spend all that time Lewis - after what he did to his Fiesta his insurers wont let him take his car outside of Yorkshire
Seriously tho' George - have you thought about flying out to Geneva to join us?
yeti said:
I never thought I'd say it, but... maybe you need to be the ONE to fly out! Then you could arrive CoD on the 10th, could even leave soame night or fly back 11th?
Had a quick look on skyscanner. I can get to Geneva at 14:20 on the 10th (I'd have to go via Heathrow 
). Google says its approx. 60km to the JLC factory from the airport, I guess in a taxi it means it would be 4pm. Then fly back at 15:20 following day (tour should be finished by then shouldn't it?). No flights can get me there early enough for same day return. Molly GT said:

Lets just get one thing straight - I do NOT live in Yorkshire. Lancashire all the way Seriously tho' George - have you thought about flying out to Geneva to join us?
I've had a look at flying out - see above. 2 days I can just about manage. Really trying to avoid time off as they're short of people, very busy and paying me by the hour. Will be on a new contact next year so if I have 4 days off it will cost me a lot. I would have driven if it was Thursday or Friday-Sunday

I like to think that a good relationship is a 2 way thing with a bit more to it than your partner telling you what to do and spending your money. What if 'she' had more money than you and a better car too 
I've met 2 couples now who have his and hers Astons (and bikes). Anything is possible. I like to think there's someone for everyone and I look forward to hearing you one day say that you've met someone you actually like, trust and want to be with 
On the other hand if you are that happy with your own company and that distrustful of other people then I wish you happiness down that route too 
Anyway - back on topic - come on George, take a day or 2 off and fly out to Geneva - you can find a way and you could always hire a car at the airport. Maybe another Astonaut driving solo might even give you a lift back to the UK!

That's 15 cars now and therefore 15+ tourers. Do the next ones get added to a reserve list Simon?
