Yeti has kindly offered to manage this - so please PM him with any alterations.
Following on from the Brooklands epic, any interest in a Gaydon factory tour/meet?
Can anyone interested please PM me with the day you want to visit and your real name, email address and a phone number? This is just so we don't end up with a massive great big thread - I have no desire to collect email addresses and will happily destroy the list once we are done. I will update this thread with the numbers of spaces available.
A maximum of two people per Aston Martin forum pistonheader? So wives, husbands etc. can come along too. Just state that you have a plus one on the email.
Please note - AML have stated that the absolute maximum number of people allowed per day is 24.
If you cannot make it let me know and someone else can take your slot.

Yes, definitely interested. Being that they need six to eight weeks notice fits into my plans nicely too. I'd love to take my car back home for a visit and i've always wanted to tour the factory.
As for times and days, a 10am tour followed by lunch at the Malt Shovel is preferable for me. As to which day of the week, I am not particularly bothered although a Monday is slightly more preferable due to the proximity of the weekend.

Weekends best for me - excluding first weekend in March (La Manga) Would be good to do the tour again

I'd also like to take my car back home but I guess I can drive to an industrial estate in Feltham any time so Gaydon it will have to be... Keeping on theme I'm ok with weekdays but will be in Florida soon followed by California so as long as I'm in the country etc.

The last time I visited Gaydon it was for "work experience" at the Rover factory at the tender age of 13.
I grew up in Banbury a few miles down the road so me and the car going home - count me in!
Weekends best for me.
