I've registered. I like the look of the six European country tour including the Ring.

I own and run a local sports / supercar club of sorts.

We have a few Aston's amongst out regular's and I thought I'd throw this idea out there.

Next July during the Centenary Week 15th - 21st, who within the North West would be interested in attending a gathering of Aston's?

I can make all the arrangements, find a venue etc.. I'd just need to know if it would be worth doing.

This could either be a private gathering, public or possibly a charitable one.

Thought's and ideas welcome!

Hi Crazy,

Best thing to do would be drop me a PM or email through here and I'll build a list of those interested.

Also any ideas or suggestions can be sent the same way.

As time goes by, I'll give periodic updates on the numbers and viability of it all.

Location of the Centenary Concours announced:

AML said:
The highlight of the centenary celebrations, the centenary concours marks a joint celebration with the Aston Martin Owners Club, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. and of course our customers, our dealers and the many friends of our marque. The event will take place in Kensington Gardens, with the kind permission of The Royal Parks and see car displays and the largest gathering of Aston Martins in the history of the company! Various “packages” will be available for participants and guests. These will be communicated and available to book in January 2013.
Fantastic venue and will be a great event.

CPoP are doing something special, worth keeping an eye out for, especially if you're based in the NW smile

Are you driving over in the Roadster Alwin? The weather is so good you will be able to have you roof down all the time and enjoy the crisp Winter sunshine .........not! Its rained every day except one since we picked ours up! We will be there so hopefully catch up with you.

We'll be flying in. Would love to have taken the Roadster, but driving over to Calais, then from Dover to London in this weather... nah...

This weekend was "doable" though, had a nice trip in Belgium with "The Blue One". The car spotters in Knokke went crazy seeing an actual V12VR for the first time:
