2014 was a mere taster compared to what is planned for July.

When we get past 300 cars registered I might spill a few more beans.

Trust me this could be epic…………..fingers crossed and all that…...:roll eyes:

There again I might be in a straight jacket by then……..biggrin

3 Cracking cars registered this afternoon by Chiltern Aston.

1, DB7 GTS COUPE…………absolute corker of a 7.

2, 1989 X PACK VANTAGE.

3, CHASSIS NUMBER 1 1994 SUPERCHARGED VANTAGE.

The Super charger is superb with fitted options such a a roll bar and stereo speakers in the headrests,how very cool.

Thanks to Derek and the team at Chiltern for being so supportive and generous with their donations toward our event…..clap

Don't forget to have a look at Steve Wrights latest creation to the cause.

Hello Campers,

We are now up to 296 cars registered so the milestone of 300 is in touching distance.

When we reach 300 I will post up some hopefully interesting information regarding this day out.

Over to you lot,surely we can find another 5 from this forum to join in as the newer members haven't really come to the party as of yet.

Early days I know and all that,I stand back and await the rush……..rolleyes

PS, Don't forget to mail if you want a copy of the poster reserving as they are limited.

Looks good.
Am I correct, that the fuse box cover does not have to be drilled?

The electrical components appear to be positioned under the fuse box cover.
Are the loose parts kept in place, perhaps with a sticky pad?

No modification of the fuse box is required at all.
Clicks on as before!

Come on chaps its Friday night and the weekend starts here.

We now have 307 cars registered to attend in July so whilst trying to keep the momentum going I suppose it wouldn't help any if I told you we won't be getting the Spitfires unfortunately this year..frown

Sorry and all that but I did try very hard after they proved to be so popular with everyone the last time…………frown

I filled in all the forms last September and sent them in with all the coordinates and grid references etc, even the height of the Burghley clock tower was taken into account……... frown

I've waited patiently upon the reply……..coffee but unfortunately the man from the BBMF he say no Spitfires………frown

WHAT he did say however was he'd be happy to send along the complete flight from the BBMF so we will now have the Lancaster escorted by their Hurricane and course everyones favourite the Spitfire…clap (weather and mechanical correctness of course dependent).

Well if its good enough for the Queen…………..why not us lot at Burghley.

Thought you might like the model version as well,the music stirs the blood and hopefully will encourage a few more to register if you please.

Come on I'm doing my bit so lets see 320 up over the weekend please………...thumbup.
