What time will the emails come round please? I still don’t have one.

Check your junk email. Mine went there for some reason!

Warning to all - m40 northbound appears to have been closed (just now) due to an accident between J11 and J12. Best avoided if you’re on your way...

That makes me feel a little bit better. I forgot all about this as I was in the reserve list and I've only noticed the email, that Ben sent yesterday morning, in my junk folder. Did think about coming up (1.5hr journey) but decided against it and removed my name, but would probably have been delayed even further given the above.

Seems to be moving again now

Well that was one of the best Sunday services I have been to for a long time! There was a good mix of cars in the car park and I am always impressed by the facilities at Aston Martin - I always leave there thinking it would be a good place to work.

What I was most impressed with were how many Aston Martin staff there was supporting it, down to a guy offering my little boy a sticker the second he got upset that we were leaving.

Thank you PistonHeads and Aston Martin!

Very enjoyable morning, thanks to the PH team and Aston Martin.

[seiben]

Yep, really enjoyed that. Thank you PH and Aston Martin

Thanks to Aston Martin, the AM people and PH for a bloody excellent Sunday Service. The hospitality from AM was fantastic, as was the weather.
Even the Police car on the M5 on the way home didn't spoil the day. Being followed and then a wagging finger from plod was a lucky escape.

[rejn]

Yep agreed. That was a great morning out. Thanks AM and PH!

I saw this happen in my mirrors at 8.50am - looked like a black hatchback in the fast line In the distance behind me - tyres smoke, car started to spin, heading towards inside Armco barrier, hit barrier and bounced back then darted off towards the hard shoulder -

Hope they were ok

Really great Sunday Service, the AML staff were great and very interesting to have a nose around the factory.

The driver seemed OK but the car was in the ditch!

Thought the factory was off limits apart from the viewing platform
