Is this some kind of high end marketing survey or did you miss it?
Anyway, I got the 45 minute aerobatic flight experience courtesy of Bamford Rose. Might take a neck brace with me
I was out-bid on the V12 coffee table which is probably a good thing as I would have been in so much trouble if I'd got home and announced I'd spent a grand on that.

I missed it Pete but I do prefer the high end marketing survey description , just being curious being truthful.Anyway, I got the 45 minute aerobatic flight experience courtesy of Bamford Rose. Might take a neck brace with me

I won the professional photographs of your Aston. Didn't realise at the time that it meant I'd be able to park up in front of the house at the end. What an experience especially as I was sitting in my V12V waiting for a GT12 Roadster, two One-77s, a Vulcan and a DB10 and of course Ed standing right in the middle, to move out the bloody way....! 
Still the most surreal thing was giving way to a DB10 while in my Aston...never gonna forget that...

You did well there, Steve the photographer and Ed were both at pains to try and make us bidders understand that it was a personal photo shoot of your car. Some people thought that they would be buying a photo of someone else's car!

I (sorry I mean my kids) got the spectre scalextrix set 
As you carried on bidding, I presume it was your two boys killing themselves with laughter. Had you lost a bet with them?
Also, did you get Andy Palmer to sign it?
I got the Sports Cats for my v8v. I was in the strange position of bidding against myself! I managed to outbid myself a couple of times. Ed is a very good auctioneer!

I remember that. He got you to up your own bid! I had to laugh. On the same note though, i had given away a day of my time in the auction, but Ed somehow managed to get me to up it to 2 days while people were bidding on it! Sneaky, but its all for charity lol. It would have to be in north yorkshire though....

I would've taken the mrs and made a holiday of it. Good to meet you and the mrs too. Didn't those bloody bugs like the flugplatz! I feel sorry for the person with the yellow car though, as i couldn't even use my cloths for all the bugs on it.
Atleast you wasn't wearing a high vis jacket,that was painful with them flies!!!Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
