Apparently the Grand Opening 3rd May

Received the invite and was very tempted until I saw it is a 2 hour evening window on a Thursday. This, a long way to go for just two hours, and mid week.

I guess we could stay over but it does seem a bit OTT.

Anyone else going?

I'm guessing I got included as I use WS for all my servicing. Can't think of any other reason. Looks like a big deal as they are arranging shuttle buses from a nearby parking place and Milton Keynes Central station.

Quite tempted now.

Had a sneak preview on last Tuesday!

Heritage and bodyshop look great, main service area - bigger with a painted ceiling and trusses, showroom - well like eveyone else.

Perhaps they could have opened it up to any Aston Owner?? so long as they arrive in their Aston!

This means, less shuttling and a great photo / video opportunity with all the cars.

Oh well.. maybe Cocktail sausages are going up in price.

This sort of happens at the Bonhams auction day; last year I counted in excess of 200 Astons on site and believe me that floods into the over-fill car parks for the over-fill car parks.
