There is a car park for "normal" cars.....so yes, feel free to attend ??

I'll be slumming it in the "normal" car park then, probably with a few others

Mike,

Contact me nearer the time as I'm working on the possibility of a smallish associate brand area or display for all our friends
that are still interested in Astons but like yourself are having a break currently.

You never know I might be able to brain wash everyone into coming back over……..:thumb up:


Nijius,

I've missed the opportunity on purpose as its sometimes better to let the engine idle rather than constantly rev it up……..

I'm holding myself back in readiness of your official "signing on "for an event as a newbie as such you should take a lot away from including many new friends…….:thumb up:

You can of course always enrol as an official canvasser and take the mantle of encouraging as many others as you can to join in,you'd be most welcome.

Roll on Wednesday..

Octavarium,

Thanks for registering you'll be in for an astonishing good day out and will be made very welcome,lets hope many more newer members follow your lead and join in .

Cheers,

Ed.

Another great donation has been kindly forwarded for the Charity Auction at Burghley on the 3rd of July.

Mike and the team from Bamford Rose Independent Aston Martin Specialists have generously donated the following....

A 45 minute flight in an Aerobatic aircraft (Slingsby T67 Firefly)from the Wellesbourne Airfield which is operated by Take Flight Aviation.

The date is bookable directly with Takeflight by the winning bidder and is advised to be taken by the end of September 2016.

Take Flight Aviation : https://www.takeflightaviation.co.uk/slingsby.html

The Flight

Experience the thrill of taking to the skies in a high performance aerobatic aircraft after your initial briefing on arrival at the venue.

There will also be the opportunity for your family and friends to take pictures, as you are strapped into the aircraft as you get ready to go !

Your instructor will take you through everything as he takes you through a series of breathtaking manoeuvres which are guaranteed to get your pulse racing !

However, if you don't fancy the aerobatic flight the instructor can make it as gentle as you like.

Take a peep : www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QOXL2UbXXs

Thanks again to the Team at Bamford Rose Independent Aston Martin Specialists for once again supporting this Event.

Save you pennies and take a ride………...

You should be expecting a rush Paddy everyone wants to sparkle on the big day.

You should promote yourself with an offer especially for the Burghley weekend.

Anyway the reason for the post gentlemen is that we are currently sitting on 268 registered cars so can we push the boat out by reaching 270 plus by the weekend.

Come on I dare you…….

[Ed50]

In all honesty no not really,it can be a bit political so I leave it alone.

I'm sure the network is fully aware of this Event so should they choose to mention it to their customers I say GOOD ON UM……...

I would settle if a few of them were to get motivate and send over a Raffle prize to be honest as its all for charity and most dealerships will have
customers present.

So lets put it out there……..are there any dealers looking in wishing to donate a prize.

Please email: [e-mail]

Well I'll sit back and await the rush………., sorry thats a bit glass half empty,I'm sure they'll step up to the plate……...

Many thanks for all the support so far.

Anything donated from the Grange group? If not I'll have a word with them tomorrow morning...Surely at the very least a Cygnet...

I spoke with Matt the other week whilst in search of the GT12 that Nick posted up and I did politely ask the question then but I haven't heard no more .

Please do apply the screw,every little helps………………...

[Ed50]

I'm bumping this post for anyone that wants a poster as I have been told the PH mail system is down by someone wondering if I'd had there message.
If you have pm'd me on this subject and have not received a reply please use my private email address as shown below please.


Andrew Hill made me a poster to help promote the Event……..:



Any one wanting a copy of this poster ( 594 x 841 ) is welcome to email me to reserve their copy.

There will only be a small batch produced for this event and it will be a case of collect and pay on the day.

The artist has set the price at £25.00 each net with a healthy percentage being donated to the charities of the day.

If you wish to reserve your copy please email me: [e-mail]

Andrew is also producing a run of 10 limited edition Giclee prints of the picture itself on heavyweight fine art paper that will be approx 450 x 600,these will be signed and numbered by the artist.

Number 1 of this extremely limited run will be Auctioned at Burghley with all proceeds again going to the Charity pot.


Many thanks,

Ed.

[Ed50]

Just giving an early post from this thread a refresh as Clive is waiting to hear from a few more of you that need to go home making plenty of noise.

This is a fine gesture on Clive's part so please if your thinking of a switch please contact Clive to get yours booked………..NOW !.


During your day at Burghley you will now be able to have a Clive Chedzey Exhaust Bypass Switch fitted to your car.

Clive has kindly donated 25 units to the cause with all the proceeds going to our Charities of the Day.

If you would like to take up Clive's most generous offer and book your appointment for Clive to visit your car whilst at Burghley please email Clive.

[e-mail]

Clive tells me he can fit these switches in under 10 minutes so go on lets make it "Challenge Clive",the cost to have your switch fitted on the day is £80.00 and as
I mentioned previously that goes in full to charity.

Check out the units on Clives website www.cccharger.co.uk if you wish as they are extremely good units.

Thanks to Steve and SKW images for kindly surprising me by putting this together to help promote the Event.

[Ed50]

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……..

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..

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

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……...

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

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… (weather and mechanical correctness of course dependent).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aKV6efQgPs

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………....
