Especially if you were potentially standing next to it at Burghley having your photo taken……...

I'm going. Camping at Porsche Curves with Travel Destinations. We'll be on the Portsmouth to Cherbourg ferry at 9am Thursday.

I didn't get to do any sticking up this year sadly, but I did spend some time on Saturday giving her a clean and a coat of silicon. I think it's going to be a wet one this year.

Hi all,

I will be travelling down for the first time in an Aston Martin V8V and can't wait.... Going down on Thursday via the Tunnel and staying with Le Mob by a chateau (but camping in the rain probably.....).

In the Porsche, I was able to change the digital speedo display from MPH to KMH - can you do the same on the Aston and if so, how?

Many thanks.

The thought of that has just given me a reaction in the mans department.

Hold down the read button and the button on the end of the left stalk for a few seconds to switch between the two.

Saw this yesterday at a "private" camp next to Porsche Curves...



Saw this today at Indianapolis just before Q3 was red flagged...

[IanV12VR]

Some pictures from our trip so far

These were at Hotel de France today - loads of people around and they seem to quite like Astons





Our home for the weekend



Weather is pretty mixed, when it rains here it comes down by the bucket full hope it improves for the race

stunning 2nd picture and now my screen background...

There were so many people wanting a look at the Aston that we hired some protection - also did traffic control duties as well

Quality will be a bit crap from that size?!! PM me and I'll send you one a bit more lively.

Fantastic photo mr Tremilini !

Mr Tremlini, the DB9 on the 'private' camp site is mine
Having a great, if slightly damp time .

Now sitting on Porsche Curves viewing bank in warm sunshine .
Hope everyone else has avoided the worst of the weather and very bad traffic around the circuit and is now enjoying a great race, dry ( so they say) for the rest of the race ????

Would you send me the photo if I pm you?

Thanks - Julia
