Yes indeed Molly!

I was impressed with your reaction time to the cow brake test on Day 2...

I thought Rob had a picture?

Better than that (possibly) he has a video, complete with commentary, but I need a bit more time before I can sort it and share it

You asked Mike and so you shall receive

The majority of Welsh Weekenders are going to say they remember the sheep, the horses and the dinosaurs (does no one else have photos of dinosaurs?!) but not the cow. That is because it was a Sunday morning cow. I drove the lead car for about three quarters of the route from the hotel to Tintern (sorry if I held you up guys but wasn't it my turn to have some fun at the wheel?) and then, as he was on home territory, Mike (Gdc) lead the rest, which is when this happened:

Excellent!
Rob, what a regular Murray Walker you are!

I agree Mikey, when is the next one - I recon we need a "Fall/Autumn" weekender as the leave are just turning - anyone up for this?

Definitely! Count me in. What, where, when? Should I pack now?

[Gdc]

In your new car ?
Come, join the world of AM love - it is awaiting you...

Thanks for that pressure william, rob has been at me for the past 2 years on the Aston front. Umm. . What will the future hold.

A little later than I'd hoped ...... but, I've managed to, finally, get around to getting a couple of clips together and sling 'em on youtube.

I've got something like 15gb of movie from the run, and it's painstaking trying to sift through it all to find interesting bits.

Also, I'm fking useless with imovie.

So, for now, here's the first one I've cobbled together. With a cast of hundreds!

I'll try and put another one together tomorrow from the other camera that was mounted on the side window.

In the meantime, I hope this brings back some happy memories from a great event, held in spectacular scenery.

At last

Thanks Scotty - loved the sheep but where were all the other Astons?!

In the spirit of you've shown us yours I'll show you mine here's one sent to us by the car that followed us. The female voice ('woohoo'!!) is not mine!

Enjoy:

I think I was the 4th car in the group and we were well spaced out by then. Must avoid stone chips if possible ;-)

What a great video, glad to see we made most use of the available road!

We certainly did.

2nd video uploading now, but since I changed the res to 1080 it's going to take all night by the looks of things.

This time, from the side mounted camera.

Some more Astons in this one, but finishes with the mountain section again.

[Ian365]

That low slung camera angle is great - really brings back just how much fun it was and how fantastic those roads were.

Not that you don't also have some fantastic roads near you Scotty. You know, the type that would really lend themselves to a spirited drive by a group of Aston nuts? October would be good!!! No pressure.

[BigScotty]

And the side cam upload is complete.

Apologies for the sound, I guess I need a separate mic'

oh jeez!

Seriously, is there enough interest to have some kind of highland hoon? (I may regret asking that)

[philmorton]

We'll come

As if we would say no

[BigScotty]

Any preference for when in October?

[Ian365]

Scotty, you are THE man! Award yourself a gold star!

There's not much going on car event wise in October so how about w/e starting Friday 17th?

How can I be looking forward to this already?

You might want to start a new thread - making it more visible is bound to generate interest.
