As of this mornings mail will are now just 6 short of the magic 500 cars.

Its time to pull out all the stops to go through the 500 car barrier so if you have any friends that drives an Aston its time to Pressgang
them into signing up smash.

I can assure you if we get fair play with the weather you will be in for a cracking day out…………..honest rolleyes, so lets see if we can do the 500 cars this week
as after that its all down hill to the 3rd of July.

Right I can feel a tin rattle coming on…………biggrin

If anyone wants to make a donation to reward my miserable efforts please visit this shortened link and in doing so help someone less fortunate than ourselves currently.

Don't forget to contact Clive as he is waiting to hear from a few more of you that need to go home making plenty of noise.

This is a fine gesture on Clive's part so please if your thinking of a switch please contact Clive to get yours booked………..NOW !.


During your day at Burghley you will now be able to have a Clive Chedzey Exhaust Bypass Switch fitted to your car.

Clive has kindly donated 25 units to the cause with all the proceeds going to our Charities of the Day.

If you would like to take up Clive's most generous offer and book your appointment for Clive to visit your car whilst at Burghley please email Clive.

clive.chedzey@ntlworld.com

Clive tells me he can fit these switches in under 10 minutes so go on lets make it "Challenge Clive",the cost to have your switch fitted on the day is £80.00 and as
I mentioned previously that goes in full to charity.

Check out the units on Clives website www.cccharger.co.uk if you wish as they are extremely good units.

First of all well done for getting 500+ Astons to the meet.

Well....i've been reading this topic with interest as I would love to attend, plus hopefully I will be purchasing my first Aston Martin DB9 this week (if everything goes well!!) I will of course let you know with photos.

So as a completely obsessed Aston Martin to be owner who lives in Grantham so not too far away from Burghley unfortuntely I cannot attend as I'm scheduled to work away over that weekend which I cannot get out.

So have a very good time, i'll be thinking of your great day, hopefully I'll be able to attend the next big day out.

Paul.

So, with over 500 cars registered for what will be a fantastic day at a great location it's puzzling to see only 66 people have visited Ed's JustGiving page.

I know Ed will want to say a big thank you to those that have donated, and there are some very generous donations on there clap

But if you've not had a chance yet this is just a gentle reminder that this is all for charity, you'll pay £10 on the gate and any other amount you feel it's worth over and above that can go in the JustGiving pot. It would be great for Ed to see 100 donations on there wouldn't it? Come on chaps yes

Just a thought. Anybody seen whether Prodrive might like to 'show' one of their Vantage GTE LeMans cars on the day ?

Unfortunately after several attempts at this one it appears very unlikely that Prodrive will be attending in any capacity.

But we did try…..frown

If anyone else has the key to this particular door I would welcome their inclusion with such a fantastic car.
