Have posted this in the spotted thread but thought it worth asking who you have seen driving an Aston lately ....

'Celebrity Aston owner spot today - yes, in Hereford!!!

I was on foot when I heard a distinctive V12 burble approaching. I spun round to see a DBS in an interesting shade of brown (hurl), registration P4 DK* and recognised my old mate (rolleyes), celebrity baking person, Paul Hollywood. Well obviously he was waving frantically to get my attention but I didn't recognise him at first.

Bit later on I was returning to my p*key pick-up when I saw him checking into Hereford's finest hotel (no, before you ask, its not a Travelodge) so I popped in and said hi!

Naturally he was delighted to see me again after our encounter at CarFest North this summer (like me he spent ages hanging around in the pits and also managed to get a ride in the One-77).

I apologised for not having got back to him, as promised, with Bamford Rose's contact details and we had a chat about the fantastic results they are producing these days. Have emailed him this afternoon so my conscience is now clear. We can only hope that his is too wink

P.S. A surprising amount of this is true including the BR bit!!'

If I ever get to retire I wish for as much spare time as you Rob smile.
Personally, I haven't seen any famous AM drivers, I don't suppose you can count Tony the Euromillions winner, as to his credit, he didn't let it change him one bit wink

Geoff my time is precious. The biggest problem I find is spreading the goodwill to all the right places!

Are you going to be really busy in about seven weeks time? scratchchin
I realise your time is precious given the amount of time you spend soaping down the love of your life.. wink
The frequency of those pictures of you cleaning Pearl are only eclipsed by the inside of Nicks' tandoori express biggrin.
