Brands will be great , where do you propose we all meet up. It will be no good saying we will be wearing an AM top. I have booked the room whatever it is called over the start finish. We are also doing the dinner on the Saturday night.

One week on from collecting Pearl thought we would post up some pics outside our place wink











Fingers crossed that the cherished transfer of V888AMV works out and that the number hasn't died with Purdey. Apparently we nearly lost that at one stage but hopefully Pearl will soon bear that plate too.

Car looks stunning and I like your Gaffsmile we are at Brands only on the 7th July and also booked the viewing box above start/finnish.
Perhaps meet up place the Kentagon Restaurant/bar behind Paddock Hill Grandstand, they have benches and seats outside.Maybe 10am before Qualifying starts? ID I don`t know maybe a Aston smile should be recognizablesmile

Guess where Pearl is right now? .... and guess what she is having done?






Happy days are here again - or very nearly!

We are on the 3-week-countdown to this year's big tour - Alpine South with Petrolhead Nirvana - by which time we have been told (and I have some difficulty believing this) that Pearl 'should eclipse Purdey'!

PS Sorry Woollie - I meant 2nd biggest tour of the year after the JLC tour obviously xx

Mike seems to think that with their top spec ceramic coated manifolds fitted and with a few more miles on her bores that Pearl will make more power and torque than Purdey. There were some other photos that Molly decided not to show of the damaged suspension unit together with the replacement. I simply can't wait to get my car back from BR. We need to do a bit of bonding which shouldn't be too difficult a task.

Might work on Pearl with the contrast you already have
I'm not a fan generally as it is only cosmetic

I think it would work well and look great. I' sure George will be along to strongly disagree soon - but that will just prove my point biggrin

Would be interested in some pics of this if anyone has any as I am thinking about it myself but can never picture this type of thing in my mind, appreciate it is only a cosmetic exercise but think it would work well.

Hey rob, Molly, so glad that you stayed with the belief that you own such a special car and although you have issues the ownership of such a iconic mark have kept you here.
What ever you have done will only enhance your enjoyment and fully remind you how lucky we all are.

Oh that's fine. I'd never think anything I organise as being close to PN trips.

So glad to hear that Pearl is becoming all you want. I'm sure once you get a fair few miles on the clock you and Rob will be very happy and fully bonded smile

Externally no change in appearance other than a lowering of the ride height. I think that a standard looking car that goes and sounds a bit special is more than enough. Induction mods may well follow, probably next year.
Thanks for all the kind words , 2013 has been fairly dramatic so far.
