First Gaydon factory visit - V12V S? CC100?!
Discussion
Looks like I've joined the marque at the right time, with Anniversary celebrations, a plethora of new models and success on the tracks.
Race success continues to grow, congrats to Aston upsetting the established big-budget German opposition with second in qualifying at Nurburgring 24hrs, and a fine solid 10th finish in the circumstances. Motors TV coverage was a bit rubbish today, will find better elsewhere, perhaps there was some Aston in-car footage
My first factory visit next Tuesday 4th, what are the chances of them having the above available for a poke around, I wonder?!
I should go in the Vantage, but tempting to turn up in my hillclimb-sprint TVR, given my interest in racing and the original history of the Aston marque!
I didn't post a proper pic of my 4.7 before, so in line with forum protocol...

Welcome
I saw the plate and thought that was my old car for a second - until I saw it had a roof
There is normally something special laying around at the factory though "secret" stuff is always under wraps
We managed to crawl over a 1-77 and the N24 used in Top Gear
Were abouts in Shropshire are you?
I'm in the Shrewsbury area

We'll keep our eyes peeled then.I saw the plate and thought that was my old car for a second - until I saw it had a roof

See you also had a mega S2000 - didn't know the Honda could be SC'd to quite that level, presumably low comp pistons etc.
I'm in Shrewsbury too - up for a local pub meet one evening?

You cna get it to ~700BHP with a built motor
Yep an evening meet might be a good idea
I might encourage a few others out as well

Sounds good, let me know. If we settle on nice pub or live music wife may be tempted too, if not it's a quiet evening out for me. All good. You cna get it to ~700BHP with a built motor
