Not an Aston owner but enjoyed looking around the cars today. The following were my particular favourites, after of course Phil's Mako Blue V12 Vantage in which I was a passenger!    All were nearly as lovely as my Porsche 993  Nice speaking to you all today.

There were some lovely cars on display. Far too many green ones though. I think green is the new grey!
Good to meet mr jockman and the other bunch of piss takers. Shame big T couldn't make it.
Big thanks to tony and family or looking after me. And of course to Nick.

You still on the 3k insurance allowance?  554 round trip according to Google on the shortest route  Still on 3k insurance. The car even got a run out this Sunday, after the sun came out - albeit a 1.5 mile trip to the pub. Had to pick it up at half 6 this morning through as I was incapable of driving back last night

Was that part of your charm offensive  No pics of our Blue Friend nor his car I'm beginning to think he never made it

There will be no pictures of the man himself as he was in the canteen eating cakes and drinking tea courtesy of Essex Boy John

To make it easy I have generated a video with the pictures (easier vs uploading every single picture) I had even more pictures but I have tried to make some selection (86 pictures + 1 short video) Congratulations to all the owners of those wonderful cars http://youtu.be/Wq-rYq0bI5s

I dont usually take the car out in that kind of weather, it is a bit of a garage queen, but wanted to suport Tony for all his efforts. The only thing that really sticks in my throat is the £20 to get in. When you think that those cheeky buggers ( Hever) actually advertised our Aston day on their website to attract more visitors for them, I dont think we should be charged at all. Even half price wouldnt be quite so hard to swallow, after all we actually gave them another attraction for their punters. I have to say that I wouldnt mind if Hever gave a large percentage of our entry fee back to Tony for charity. Other then that little gripe it was a nice day, well done Tony.
