There are a few from me on the attached link http://www.amoc.org/content/view/1685/144/. Mainly concentrated on the local Aston Martin Owners Club display plus some general ones.

Great to have Keith (WobblyWatson) join us on the display.

That was me

I shouted "marry me" when you came through but your car was too loud to hear. Your loss...

This particular GTR actually wasn't too badly damaged in the fire at Le Mans - not nearly as bad as #25R was anyway. This GTR was rebuilt and resumed racing at several events in 1997, and then reappeared in the all black LOCTITE livery for Le Mans 1998 - nice page of period images here:

The Gulf livery was added back to the car in 2010 during a complete restoration of the car after joining the ROFGO Collection.

Um that particular GTR caught fire 4 or 5 months ago.

Really? news to me, and a couple of weeks ago I was with the guy who had it changed to its current livery in 2010 and he mentioned nothing.....

Was it a bad fire or a minor electrical issue?

You must be talking about the Nissan then?

The McLaren caught fire once too - in rather spectacular fashion during qualifying at Le Mans in 1997.

Was it the Mclaren GTR [that I was thinking you were talking about] or Nissan GTR [that you may be referring to?]......

Perhaps he showed you pictures of a recent eBay listing that had the rear part of the singed GTR for sale?

I'm pretty certain the GTR hasn't had any damage since the picture Erik posted

My convoy into the hillclimb pics are finally done: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.39944513... for all of them.

Just a select few for ya:







It was soooo dark which was a shame as it kills the photos a bit, just no bloody sun following the massive morning downpours
