………………I'm waiting….Well said Paddy,
Absentee bids can be sent by PM,but to liven things up a bit and hopefully boost the charity pot I think I shall revert to a standard Auction on the day for better and fairer coverage
as I don't think people are into the blind Auction bit.
So rock up listen out for the item you want to bid on and shout up you bid,highest bid takes the prize……………….simples.
Paddy give us a ring when your free please.
I'll post up nearer the time a full list of the Auction items so get saving your pennies,please for when the
falls.

Ed, you are doing a great job. Please keep calm or you will blow your head off ! How is the car ? You haven't mentioned it for a while.
Good Morning Rob,I'm cool,calm and collected,at the end of the day its only about putting a few cars in a field………………easy,no worries………..
Now my car is a different story but one I now keep off the forum as negativity isn't always welcomed and as I don't wish to incur the wraith of others who only see the good side of their
Aston experience it's best left in private.
Those that know me and the car have certainly witnessed some odd goings on with the S,probably best left me thinks as Ghosts in the Machine…….
As we both know sometimes our loyalty can be tested but I temper myself by standing back and looking at it and the angst fades away.
My biggest headache is trying to sort the VIP Parking out at the George for those that want it…
but I'm sure it will all sort its self out on the day…………..
We shall put you in a safe environment Paddy where you can do very little damage,we may even throw you the occasional Cake to keep you going.
In general things are coming together now but I still have acres of grass to fill and with many notable characters from this forum still missing from
the attendance register I think a quick rallying call is in order please to try and boost the numbers further.
It would be nice to get past the 200 car mark so please give it some thought as it should prove an interesting day with plenty going on,plus its all for
a couple of good causes.
Come on get your names down and come along and enjoy the day.
Thanks…...

I spoke to the Spitfire pilot today and he's really up for a bit of fun and is very much looking forward to giving everyone who attends a good buzzing.
He's a former owner of a DB5 Volante and is a true fan of Aston Martin so he will be doing his best to give you a decent flying display.
Anybody know where I can find a 109 for him to play with………..,maybe I should try the Porsche forum……….

Morning Adam,
Its the same or only entrance to Burghley in use for public entry,on arrival they will be waved in at no charge by yours truly or Patrick.
If they want a concession ticket or 2 for the House it will cost them a fiver which goes to Burghley but it will save half on the House and Gardens,if that helps.
Once past the Gate House its only a sort drive to the tree lined General Car Park where all non display vehicles are requested to park.
Its only a very short walk to where the Astons will be at,if there are any mobility issues please let me know and I'll sort something to make it easy for you.
Look forward to seeing you on the day.
