When the weather is too bad to drive your aston in England..

[jonby]

....come to Abu Dhabi!

Unfortunately haven't been able to take v12vr out much at all with the snow

But not a bad substitute. Arrived at the yas marina circuit a little earlier today, staying at the viceroy which is the hotel that overlooks the circuit

Sand dune buggies tomorrow, Ferrari world the next day then Aston Martin race school on Sunday, driving gt4s on the circuit !

Buzzing isn't the word ! It's not hot by UAE standards but I don't suppose I'd be sat outside in t shirt & sandals if I was back in the UK right now......watching radicals & 458 race cars going round right now from the hotel terrace - it doesn't get much better than this for a boys weekend !!

Wow....sounds fantastic.

Would love to get the "Yas" box ticked at some point in the future myself.

That sounds like my kind of boys weekend , I look forward to hearing about that one in Geneva. So when do we get to discuss the cost of an Aston Martin track day at SPA

Sounds fantastic - bar Ferrari World. Wasn't impressed when I went, so glad I didn't pay to get in. If you go out in the evening the locals will stare at you - you'll be the one without a thick coat and scarf. Its really cold there in the evening at the moment - about 12Deg C!!!

Jonby, unfair. Fact. Git.

Stop moaning Jockers - at least you've got enough cake to survive for a month when you get snowed in

I might squeeze some into an envelope and send it out to you guys

No stamps, though, so pot luck if you receive it

All this snow talk. I got the DB9 out today and got this far, traction was fine.



I needed some stuff from the garage loft space so had to move the car out.

Utter utter utter bd

Sounds great (except for Ferrari world).

How have you found the circuit? I've never really heard anything positive about it, everyone I know who has been described it as boring/dull.

When we were there in October Jenny couldn't work out why all the shops were selling 'winter' clothes, coats, furry boots etc - That explains it - sort of
