Aston owners Autumn outing

[Molly GT]

Come on then - who's going to pick up the baton?

Mikey K did a great job of sorting a Spring meet/run out.

We have taken up the challenge of sorting a Summer version.

Who's going to organise an Astonauts* event in the Autumn?

Aw, come on guys, somebody must have a little inkling of an idea ....

[Molly GT]

Time to re-launch this thread - the baton must be passed on! The ball has been sent rolling etc.

Besides, it would be nice to have a little Autumn break to look forward to

[Molly GT]

We would be up for that! Nice to see you again this weekend - how long did the journey home take you?

Eeeh, smashing. Good video - made me chuckle. Talking of videos - you may not have noticed yet Mike but you are on the one I put on the 'Brecons' thread earlier ...

[quote=AMDBSNick]George seems to have taken this O/T by rambling on about his Bacon Buttey run and his obsession with wandering around the globe following a circus. So here goes. A new list begins for the 20th/21st. Just add your name and keep it on topic for Mike's sake

Morning all I have now spoken to the hotel and the reservation number is
0113 264 1000 at Thorpe Park, to get the room rates all you need to say is ''aston martin'' ( cunning code word .. I thought it up myself ) for October 20th .....
Most of the route is now done and hopefully it will be a dry successful day on the sunday starting at 11 am.
If you want to put a b next to your names when booked that would help
cheers guys

No point pretending I'm as accomplished a driver as, say, Molly

Now I understand why she loves you Jockman

[Molly GT]

Thanks Mike - email received. Looking forward to our trip oop north and hoping the weather improves by then

Jockman said:

Pinched an old Go 740 from a Driver and gave him my useless new Via......downloaded the Map no problemo.....eventually located it on the device and Bob's your uncle

Oh no - that's more than we've managed! OMG - does that mean we have to follow Jockman?!?

One week and counting , do you guys want me to organise some afternoon tea at our last destination ??? Probably be about 2.30 -3pm I know yeti likes to eat at every opportunity !! Cheers mike

Will there be cream scones?

CREAM FIRST, THEN JAM!!!

We are not savages

Not again! How many times can the order of jam and cream on a scone be debated on a car forum?!

Call me a savage - I prefer jam first

Why not just put jam on one half, and cream on the other? Then on assembly you can have it whatever way you want just by turning the scone upside down. Everyone's happy!

Re-assembling is ok if you have a big mouth George but for the more delicately inclined a scone should be eaten as two separate halves. Besides which, that way you get double the pleasure!

Typical northern bird



We'll try it both ways (steady Rob) next weekend and I'll demonstrate the error of your ways!

Gloucestershire born & mostly lived in Herefordshire - when did either of those counties become classed as Northern?!? As a geologist, for some reason, I would have expected your geographic knowledge to have been somewhat better than that! Not that there's anything wrong with being a northerner, bearing in mind our destination this w/end

Scone wars? Bring it on

[Molly GT]

Well our Astonauts weekend starts this afternoon

We are heading north later (staying near Chesterfield tonight) and would like to fit in a visit to York tomorrow if possible (parking recommendations anyone? ).

Look forward to seeing you all in the bar tomorrow evening

[Molly GT]

Shame you couldn't make it MK. Does the movement of boxes to rooms mean you are no longer a nomad?

We had a good night and have high hopes of a good day today. The mist/fog may hang around for a while unfortunately but at least we have a couple of mobile foghorns with us to let the people of Yorkshire know we are coming

Can't wait to get out there and hear Purdey give the residents a wake up call

[Molly GT]

Home safe & happy after another great Astonauts w/end. Thanks to Mike C for all his efforts in putting together a great Autumn run. Great to meet old friends and to make new ones. Haven't had time to go thru' the pics yet but hope to find some worth sharing. Thanks also to Dammit for letting me thru' on the run home - hope Rob managed to get a photo of you.

Here's to the next time - cheers
