Well as said only 3 more cars needed before midnight today to reach the magic 400.

Can you help find them for me and stop me turning into a Pumpkin come midnight.

Also he's the Charity link if anyone is feeling generous as its my Birthday.

It would be great today to find another £226.68 including gift aid to bring the total up to £6000 pounds donated so far.

That would be a wonderful achievement considering the Event is in July…….thumbup

Thank you Mick much appreciated.

I'm delighted with the membership to the club and for those that don't know what GOGC stands for it's "the Old Goats club",Mick's the chairman.

If you are a miserable old Goat and you'd like to join this elite club drop Mick a pm as I'm sure he'd like a few more new members……...thumbup

Finally well done to Paul from Ilkley for registering his DB6 and in doing so becomes the 400th car to register……..clap

Right a few more kind donations to the Virgin Money page and my day will be complete.

Been out for lunch already to stuff a 70's style Mixed Grill down my gannet like neck Richard.

The Chef even put a candle on my plate to take the p*ss out of the elderly….rolleyes

I am so confident of exceeding expectations one way or another for the wheels will front load £200 and hope to add more as the new lucky owner has their new 19 inch Vantage wheels. Currently on eBay hope to get 500 - 1000 pounds all money raised goes to charity. So if you are thinking of changing wheels let me or Ed know?

Great effort on 400+ cars and now £6000+ raised look forward to catching up at Burghley

Regards

Graham

Well done Graham.

I had every confidence that you'd find the right moment to slip it in to the conversation.

I bet it involved talking about Bali and then in it dropped…...hehe

Anyway it was simple man maths surely after Bobby saved you a fortune on the holiday front which I hope others will batten onto and try him.

Thats Bobby at Dailaflight if anyones wondering what I'm on about as we've set up a special Aston owners number : 01732 592166.
