Nag, nag, nag!! OK Ed, I give in. We no longer have an Aston and we won't be at Burghley this weekend but despite that I still felt the pressure to make a small donation!
Seriously Ed - I think your efforts in organising this event and doing such great fundraising along the way make you worthy of sainthood! Hope you have managed to herd all the cats and that you all have a fabulous weekend!

Thanks for your kind words and your gratefully received donation.
Kindest regards to you both.
Pressures on…...
Last update for Burghley as we are all maxed out now with set up etc.
Ground is firm and we have tried to accommodate all eventualities.
SPEED LIMIT IS 5MPH, whilst within Burghley, follow all instructions of Marshall's and be patient.
We are only human, though I feel Ed is on another level, super human effort organising the packed weekend!
Regards catering, if you want to bring picnic then please do so, that's up to you to organise.
Enjoy the day, support the Charities than we are raising money for and appreciate the fine automobiles on display.
Good luck folks and see you there!

Yes lets hope for some sunshine.
Sadly we have had a few knocks and losses this past 2 days so I feel I should advise that the Aston Dragster may not be present as the owners Jewelry business has been ram raided leaving him and his staff some what shaken to say the least let alone a shop with no front.
Secondly the Le Mans car has been double booked and a main sponsor takes priority,I replacement has been provided by way of a GT3 Nurburgring 24 hour car.
Finally one of the old formula one cars which was returning by ship from abroad appears lost at sea or more probably shuck in a container awaiting customs……..
I'm sorry for these loses but I can only try my best at all times.
It has been a very testing week with the ground at Burghley and I and a small stewarding team spent most of our day at Burghley yesterday fighting our corner with the Management to gain ground that was taken from us due to last weekends wet event that left a mess of the surface.
All is sorted now hopefully and we have relayed the field yet again to try and find the best passage across the landscape to our display area's..
Please when you are on the grass stick with the 5mph limit as it is in your best interests,we have taken every care to make sure of ground clearance but I can not legislate for cars that have been lowered or are extremely low in the first place.
If your car is lower than a normal DB9 for instance ask to use the lower field, all standard cars though will pass over the route laid out.
That was a bit of a tester to say the least yesterday…...
Please work with us on this as a lot of time and effort went in to keeping this event afloat (pardon the pun) yesterday and its fair to say it didn't help my stress level…….
Please work with us tomorrow on arrival and show patience as we have done our best working with the conditions we have faced this last week.
I hope everything works out and everyone that attends has a great day.
Thank you for your support.
Finally please do not email me today unless it is of major importance as I am out all day working on this weekends activities.

My brain hurts…………….doooooorh..
before the event even starts. Thanks for all your hard work ed.
From a trade stand point of view;
We were very lucky and privileged to be allowed to exhibit today and showcase what we do. From the emails from Ed about where and what time to turn up to the marshalling on the day with all the helpers and the clearly marked 'you are here' signs, it was extremely well organised. The level of interest we had along with the general ambience of the day was amazing, admittedly the weather helped, I'm sure Ed had a hand in that as well!
Thank you Ed and too many helpers that I didn't meet. It was a legendary day. Please may we come next time?
