Grantley Hall - Sunday Sept 11th 2022 - Aston Drivers Day

[andyvvc]

For anyone who is on-the-fence about this: last years drive and lunch was superb!

Grantley Hall is stunning, with a long, meandering driveway lined with trees and a stream up to the main hall.
Lunch was very good, and it's a fantastic venue to meet and chat to other AM owners etc.

Some excellent photo ops for cars etc.

Had a great drive-out afterwards too [V8 almost keeping up with the V12s]

Should be a great day out, just hope the current good weather lasts!

We have had a member of the drive pull out for mechanical reasons. If anyone would like to join the group drop me a message and I will put you in touch.

I think the cost is £67.

Last year was a brilliant day out, so well worth every penny.

Buzz.

Fantastic day out with fellow Aston owners on Sunday. 10 cars, 20 guests.

We started with bacon sandwiches and coffees at The Motorist:




Then a drive up to Grantley Hall for lunch:





After lunch a blast over to Ribblehead Viaduct to take in some fantastic roads and get some final pics before heading home:

Looked like a fantastic day out!

I feel for the owner of the only V8 that was there . . trying to keep up with all those V12s!

Hang on a sec . . . the number plate on that V8 looks familiar :O)


Great day out! Wonderful location for lunch. And the drive out to Ribblehead was made all the more fun by the handful of dawdling drivers we overtook

Looking good Andy, nice collection of Aston's and some stunning settings. Maybe I'll make it to one of these one day.

I see it as oh the joy of revving your V8 out to keep up with them.

Avoid status anxiety guys.
