Hi everyone,

Just a brief update for you regarding the event and whats going on for your enjoyment,but I will not mention any trade names today…………..:roll eyes:

We now have support from an official Aston Martin Dealership who will be on hand with a static display of cars for your investigation.

A certain Aston Martin Specialist will be on hand fitting Exhaust by pass switches on the day for £50.00 a pop which they are kindly donating to charity,Mike's team
will be available to answer any questions you may have in general about your car or any enhancement.

If you would like to have you car fitted please contact me by pm to join those that have already registered their interest,as we have limited time for these to be fitted it will
be done on a first come basis.

Before my previous over enthusiastic thread was pulled 7 people managed to respond with Woolie being the quickest off the mark so he heads the list,I still have allotted spaces
for about 20 more fitments if you fancy it.

I'm pleased to reveal that the leading Protection Film Company are attending the event and will be on hand to offer their advice and services to protect your P&J…………….

As part of our charity drive this most generous locally based Company has put forward a Stand Protection Kit fully installed at their Peterborough Workshop,(Guam) or Tom as most will
know him informs me the kit is valued at circa £1000.

As this is a major donation you might like to consider making a closed bid for it which may be handed in on the day,the winning bidder will be revealed on the day when we do the raffle.
Tom tells me that the winning bidder may up grade this kit to a full body protection if they wish and just pay the difference.

Whilst on about the blind auction I have a very generous offer on the table from a kind hearted company that played host to our Christmas Cracker event in December,they have donated
an Annual Service for an Aston Martin.

To make your bid for this please hand in your bid on the day along with your e-mail address and phone number and the winner will have a service at their convenience,to give you a clue
this prize is valued at circa £800 to £900 pending on your car.

Well there's a little bit of an update for you but I'm working on plenty more for your enjoyment which I will post up nearer the time.

Finally with all these newbies about how about getting a few more on the sticky attendee's list at the top of the page,there's a lot of grass to fill at Burghley and it would be nice to support
the above not mentioned Companies for there kind help and consideration.

If any one has any questions regarding the event or wish to make a bid if they are unable to attend the event on the day please pm me to lodge your bid.

Thanks a lot………smile

Ed.

Nice one David,

You'll be fine in the Haycock it's another very famous old place,the Paper Mills just over the road is also very nice and the food there is excellent so if you don't
fancy the Haycock Menu wander over you won't be disappointed.

Wansford is lovely your right next to a very old bridge that crosses the old river Nene so remember to take the camera as a picture or two with the Aston would be good.

It'll only take you about 10 minutes to get to Burghley from there as its just up the A1.

The numbers for our day at Burghley are growing steadily thank you, but there's still loads of room for more to join the fun.

If there's any Pre War or Feltham era boys out there that could grace us with their classics that would be great,any one got an Ulster by chance as I have
one possible on the back burner but it would be nice to get a little group together.

I understand its the Silverstone Classic and all that but if you can get over to Stamford on the Sunday that would be most appreciated.

The Event it self is now advertised on www.burghley.co.uk so I'm sure you'll get plenty of admiring glances and comments on the day,various Motoring Magazines
will be giving the event a shout out nearer the time,so fingers crossed for a massive turn out and an enjoyable day.

Cheers…….smile

Careful Francis………………before entering into any arrangement with Mick go get yourself a copy of the 1972 John Boorman classic movie The Deliverance……...:roll eyes:

Sit back and enjoy the film,now if your happy with that proceed and go play with the Banjo Toting Lonnie look alike and enjoy your day,but don't moan at me if things get interesting...music

OOPS……….Mick must be keen there goes another bid for your services…..hehe

You my friend require a lot of things,but yes your car would be ideal for a switch just to push for that extra roar that your ears are not currently experiencing…………ears.

Its only £50 squids on the day and you'll be pleased to have had it done on the way home…………..trust me Fangio.

Come on lets have you on the list…..thumbup

If anyone is interested I now have an original un thumbed hard back DB7 Brochure from I believe the mid 90's which has been kindly donated by Mickrapide.

If any of you 7 enthusiasts are interested in making a little bid for it please pm me with your offer and I will announce the lucky winner on the day.

I really don't know if these things are rare or not but this is certainly an unmarked unopened edition still in its original out wrapping that would truly compliment any owners book case.

All monies raised from this event will go in full to our event charities….smile
