How do I contact the factory?
Discussion
I just got word from my dealer today that my new 2015 GT is being built as we speak! 
A couple of forum members have suggested visiting the factory and getting to see and take some pictures of the build. Unfortunately, as much as I would love to, that is not an option at this point.
I seem to recall another forum member a while ago getting someone at the factory to take a few pictures of their particular car at different stages during the build process and was wondering how I go about getting something like this, if possible.
Does anybody have any suggestions or perhaps a contact that might be able to arrange this?

Well, duh! Why didn't I think of that? 
I was hoping for something a bit more specific.
Switch on computer - there'll be a button somewhere. Wait about 10 minutes for the thing to boot up. Then open your favourite web browser - some take this opportunity to check that the history from the previous session has been deleted (ahem!)I was hoping for something a bit more specific.
In Google (everyone knows Google) type "Aston Martin" it'll probably be the first hit - ignore any other references that you may see to football clubs and as I've noticed recently, a site specializing in arranging fun evenings for like minded couples.
Use the mouse thingy to click on the main Aston Martin website and at the bottom of the page you'll see an enquiry section. Here, there will be a telephone number. Things get a bit tricky now, so listen up. I'd ditch the mobile for this exercise - sorry, cell phone, and use the bigger telephone that'll be plugged into a wall somewhere indoors. Now dial the numbers in exactly the same order that they are stated on the website. But please, please remember that despite the general thinking over there in Americaland, that England is a real place that exists in a different time zone. We'll discuss time zones another time but for now, just remember that just because you're having a Denny's for lunch, we're not having afternoon tea with the Queen (gawd bless 'er!) we'll probably be thinking about going to bed - I know, sounds crazy, doesn't it!
Oh, almost forgot - You would have seen the word England before, it's the actual real England that's mentioned on the sill plates in your car. This isn't a coincidence.
Now, place the telephone device to your ear (the cord should be at the bottom or if you're posh, the aerial should be at the top) and wait for a nice young lady to pick up her telephone device and in English, she will probably say something along the lines of "Good afternoon, Aston Martin - how may I help you?"
You should be OK from here as English is very similar to the version you use but with all the right letters in the correct place.
Now here's the important bit - the factory is a very welcoming place - so I'm pretty sure that they'll only be too pleased for you to come and see your car being built - an amazing experience. But you must let us know when so we can take you to a building called a pub - you never know, we may even bump into the Queen!
Hope this is specific enough - good luck!

Rather harsh, but possibly fair!! When will USA bless us with a Denny's franchise??? Maybe the first should be in Gaydonshire.....In Google (everyone knows Google) type "Aston Martin" it'll probably be the first hit - ignore any other references that you may see to football clubs and as I've noticed recently, a site specializing in arranging fun evenings for like minded couples.

If you go on the website, you can tick the "customer service" box and submit your details and comments for an enquiry, and somebody "should" reply......A couple of forum members have suggested visiting the factory and getting to see and take some pictures of the build.

Mr. Petite Ass: you, sir, are a riot.
Yeti: price of ticket notwithstanding, my work schedule does not allow this indulgence. But thanks for the offer.
Rough: I was hoping maybe someone had the name of a particular individual who would be familiar with and able to accommodate this type of request.
