[klmc]

Looks great, if a little pricey.

I understand it needs to be relatively exclusive but it's a lot of dollar to travel from the UK and spend this on what's pretty much a night out.

Come February I'll be driving my own Aston on ice anyway. All it will cost me is the petrol!

I drove my Vantage for the first time in temperatures around minus 8.


The tyres were like solid rubber and tram lined everywhere and I truly wondered what I'd purchased as the car i drove for my test drive was an absolute peach to drive.


Some people put winter tyres on to get their Aston fix which use rubber more condusive for temperatures below 6 degrees


As to the On Ice, if AML do events its usually top drawer.

Looks pretty epic from the photos.

I'm very tempted, but for a day and a night quite expensive, plus flights!

Would rather send that on a retrim or other improvements

The marketing manager for Europe is somewhat of a honey though. Almost worth the money to hang out with her

How expensive is it? Link won't open properly on my phone.

It is EUR 3200

I attended the first St Moritz event, and it was great fun!! Winter tyres on a DBS, transform the car, and its a drift-fest..................

I did St Moritz this year. Great event, had a lot of fun.
Basically, it's an entire day of drifting on snow, with various types of Astons.

It is pretty expensive though, for a large part because of the hotel night in the Kempinski.

I am planning on going again next year.
