Oops...Gone and done it :)

[CSK1]

There's a little Aston meet in Provence/Luberon organised through a non-AMOC affiliated French Aston Martin Club http://astonpassion.com/ which I'm thinking of going to. Date is the weekend of the 10th/12th June. I know you Dutch have some trouble speaking French (like the Brits! :-))but don't worry ik spreek nederlands, I'm Flemish (not sure if that is better than being French but at least we speak several languages!).
Maybe some of you British PH'ers would like to go to?

CONGRATULATIONS Brakke!!

I know the V12 Roadsters are extremely rare (and expensive) so you've managed to get your self something truly special. Well done, it's a stunning looking car, the red suits the open top well.

Have no idea how you're gonna last till April though...

• Pretend to do some work.

Congratulations to yourself as well!
Youre the new proud owner of a V12V as well!
Seems like a last-minute run on all the manual V12s in the last couple of weeks, happy you managed to nab one yourself!

I dont know how im going to survive 8 weeks. Probably watch youtube videos, visit the AM dealer (there is a v12v coupe there) and I am going to sell the V8V so that will need some time and attention. Ahhh the wonders of first world problems....

I only speak French when Im drunk in which case its neither relevant what I am saying nor does anyone care anymore by that time

We should create some kind of EU calendar with events, is that not an idea??? And make it Sticky?

Thanks! I can barely take the 5 days remaining let alone your 8 weeks!

You've got to come down to Burghley now, I look forward to seeing your roadster with the top down on a typical hot sunny English summer day... (bring your Aston branded umbrella).

What is this place you speak of Burghley??

Calling Ed

Brakke have a look at the sticky at the top of the Aston Martin section. Burghley is a stately home that will host 250 plus Aston Martins for a charity event on July 3rd.
A great excuse to bring the good lady over, have a long weekend in sunny Britain and meet up with some of the Pistonheads contingent.

The dealer was so kind to send me some more pics to torture to keep me busy for just another 8 weeks or so

[IanV12VR]

That looks absolutely fabulous!!!

[divetheworld]

Just remember not to get pissed the night before you're supposed to pick it up.

[Brakke]

I will be on pure adrenaline no worries. Round about the same time last year, i picked up my 550 maranello, also from the southern parts of Germany, so Im very looking forward to the trip!
Im sooo curious to see the color in real life...Ive seen videos and the color is just always slightly different...
