See some of you saturday 1pm, I've never met any of you guys (or gals) before so be gentle with me!

Cheers

Rob

Edited so as not to have a role call which implies we've somehow hijacked the event.

Oooh, bollox, it's Sat isn't it?

Kept thinking it was a Sunday meet, so can't make it after all

I'm in Nottingham until mid afternoon.

Bugger... sorry to miss you guys.

(Don't worry Rob, there's still some of the PH massive going - and you won't miss Turbofree's car... they didn't make many 993 Turbos in Riviera blue!!!)

Errr, I think PCGB meet up at The Bird at Hand on a Saturday at midday...

Are you guys gatecrashing that meet, or do you still want to get together on Sunday, same place, same time?

I can do Sunday, but the PCGB meet may be on Saturday.

It's your call as you suggested it.

Cheers
D

Dom, looking at the PCGB web site it says that the meeting is on Sunday so see you at the Bird in Hand around midday.

Cheers

Right.

I've got a fax copy of my invite. Looks like the saturday 1pm attendees are to attend at 12.30pm for "nibbles". I am going to aim to get there for midday, to allow for tyre kicking in the car park and my inspecting everyone elses front brake discs (long story, another thread).

Afterwards I am aware of a reasonable Pub about 3 minutes drive away should anyone be interested in a pre-departure Pint and Gas (Pub identified by Rudegirl following an ABD meet at Gaydon in November).

cheers

Ah! What joy to live in the hub of the universe! Hope you will be able to reveal the truth to far-distant peasants like me when it's over.

You're bloody right there: I often drive around feeling like Charlton Heston in The Omega Man, i.e. wondering if I'm the only PHer in the down trodden zone!

Awright, Paul? Hope you're diddling ok?

I did mean the locale...to borrow one of my favourite Basildoms, "some of these people have never sat on chairs."

I think I'd better get one of those stickers from Ted so that any right minded individuals oop here can gesticulate accordingly if encountered on the passes where the ferret roams free.

I just hope the BiB are from Madcop's division!

Cracking day out involving driving to and from the venue by a roads as opposed to motorways. Try it sometime...... Have to say I don't think todays endevours will have done my brake discs any good whatsover.

This is the car we looked at:

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=25700&f=70&h=0

Not sure how much I can say before making a phone call to check on monday. So I'll be a bit vague and only mention what's already in the public domain or personal opinion.

The Baby Aston is one of the best looking cars I have ever seen. The front three quarter profile is unmistakably AM. Perfect weight distribution, hand built, not sure if I can mention the proposed performance figures other than to say it should be quicker than the carrera 2, with similar peak torque to the 360. The intention of the factory is clear, to make a serious drivers car. From the style of the car and the proposed performance figures they are definitely on the right track. Of course whatever the proposed power output as a PHer suggestions were made that we'd like to see even more.

Get your letters of intent in boys and girls. This one is on track for being an absolute corker.

Joust and Rich, I think you're going to take delivery of one of these monsters.

In fact a mate of mine who took delivery of a maser last week is going to get a phone call monday morning.

Couple of quick questions:

Will it have two kiddie seats at the back a la 911?

Did they give you an idea of list price?

Stricly a two seater. With luggage space that'll take a set of golf clubs and a suitcase.

No comment on price, although discussed it was not in the press release pack, so I feel unable to discuss current thinking behind price level. To some it may be considered a bargain though.

cheers

If it matches the carrera dynamically then I reckon it should carry at least a £5k premium, maybe £10k. It is an Aston afterall. I expect the quality of the interior should be on another planet too.

400bhp ? Pff.

And you just know it's going to weigh lots, regardless of whatever funky aluminium sandwich construction they use (like the Vanquish)

550bhp and they might be able to drag me away from my GT2 (maybe)
