Wouldn't it be great if we could have a set time for everyone to start up their engines together?

Ok - This does sound excellent. I've not been to one before. Please put my name down to attend. I will be in a V8 Vantage Roadster... If not the one I currently have, then potentially a newer one... Is there anything else I need to do before the day?

Thanks

Nice one Jazzy I'll add you to the register.

All,

There are no plans for a mass start up as I've pushed my luck as far as it can be pushed over at Burghley and I think the thought of us all starting
up would be pushing it that bit to far as well as most probably taking the windows out ….biggrin

600 Aston Martins at one event - no wonder I can't find anywhere that stocks red trousers!

Right you lot I've bust my hump for this event for the past year and now its almost upon us I would simply ask a couple of things please.

Firstly I would like 2 or 3 more GT12's for a special display that is under construction,we already have 3 so 2 or 3 more would be brilliant if anyone can help please on this front.

If you can please email me: edwind.cunningham@btinternet.com

Secondly may I rattle my charity tin one more time to ask for a donation to the Events charities just to keep it ticking away whilst leading up to the event.

I've been inundated with registrations of late but sadly not donations...frown

We raised £11,132.20 last time back in 2014 with a mere by comparison 249 cars present,this years fund is currently sitting at just over the 7K mark as I type and I would dearly love it to be that bit higher as the event approaches.

If you can spare a shilling,a shekel or a grot I'b be very grateful,

Please be as kind as to donate here, http://bit.ly/1Sga3cV

Many thanks I'll listen out for the tin starting to rattle……….rolleyes

The donation link isn't working for me? Can one put a few coppers in a tin on the day?

Come on Pistonheads - 500 cars registered and 77 people (well 75 'cos I've been on a couple of times) have donated to Ed's JustGiving page. It's £10 on the gate so it's got to be worth chucking another tenner on JustGiving. Surely? wobble

Thanks Rich for the rallying call.

We've crept up to just short of £7500 pounds as of this morning so it would be great if we could get over the 8K mark today as that would
help keep me motivated and help deflect some of the ear ache I get from my wife about the amount of time I spend on this project………..:roll eyes:

This is time I should be painting,decorating or in deed as of this morning orders cutting the bloody lawns……...eek

Right I'm away outside as I can hear her coming back down stairs,there's nothing like being master in your own home is there…….biggrin

Come on save my skin chuck a few bob in,see poetry as well…………..

Cheers…….thumbup
