Yes, I am up for that!!

[Padley69]

I'm up for this

[ChilliWhizz]

I'd be up for it too.. I'm just South of Norwich but it only takes about an hour from here to my daughters house in Brampton so not too far away!

[shinjuku]

Excellent. That's 4 so far, any recommended venues? I'm happy to organise/help with schedules etc

[Eggster]

Hi - I'm close to Stansted so I would be up for it!

[xnetco]

I'll be up for it.

[awg454]

Hi depending on date etc I am up for it as well

[Simon Lane]

I'd be delighted to host you at AM Cambridge. Let me know date/times/numbers and I'll sort out coffee/pastries etc.

Plenty to see here at the moment, GT8, GT12, Spitfire, Vanquish S, DB11. We could look at doing a workshop tour depending on the day (we are normally closed on Sundays). I could also give a short presentation on our special projects. No pressure, just a thought, but if not I'd be delighted to join you on a drive out/meet up.

OP please e-mail me on [e-mail] if you want to set this up. ATB Simon

AM Cambridge

[Padley69]

I'd be coming from Bedfordshire so I'm not familiar with the area - thought I do know where AM Cambridge are and they are a fine bunch. Good coffee too....

[shinjuku]

Thanks to all for the replies so far—really pleased with the potential numbers!

What would people like to do—have Cambridge AM be the final venue after a bit of a convoy, or meet on-site?

I'll get in touch with Simon directly and see what dates might work, then add a poll to the original post in due course so we can firm something up.

You need to announce a date and stick to it , regardless of the weather .

It will suit some and not others.

Have a look at our NE run out thread , ended up at just over 20 Astons out in what finished as atrocious weather , but a good time was had.

I've just had an idea.......

We have the AM mobile event unit booked to attend the following event on Sunday 3rd Sept:-

Looks a great day with over 700 cars booked to attend. How about an early morning meet here for coffee/pastries and then drive into the venue in convoy? I could have a word with the event organiser (a customer here who owns a DBS) and see if we can get parked together?

We will have more coffee available on our stand and some special cars on display.

If everyone likes the idea I'll get cracking with organising it. It is a ticket only event and they have a cap on numbers so I will need to be quick.

Sounds like a good potential plan, unfortunately I am away that week so wouldn't be able to join you.

[PotentiallyaHorse]

I'd be interested as well
