I'm now wondering how many AMs there will be in the car park! I'm sure the majority attending will be engineering enthusiasts but I'm trying to gauge what technical level it will be at or whether I'm not going to understand a thing!

The talks vary from exceedingly technical on things like DPF filters and emissions to general non techy & high level overview ones such as (hopefully)this one.

For example previous talks were Peter Stevens, designer of the McLaren F1 and Lotus Esprit on design influences and another on the current Bentleys.

I avoid the techy ones

Well we found out that Aston Martin read Pistonheads as this thread was mentioned by Ian

Great to see and hear so much passion for the brand, I enjoyed the talk and had a brief chat with Ian in the intermission, so thanks to Ian, Aston Martin & IMechE for the evening.

Alas no One-77 on display as their demo is out in America with Richard Branson's space explorer thingy.

There was Ian's company Virage to poke around in though
