Nobody thought Mel Gibson could play a Scot but look at him now.

Alcoholic and a racist!

[Jockman]

Ahem....I do believe the greatest ever Bond was played by a sweaty sock.

Ok, I realise my case is weak once I use the dreaded word

[V8V CG]

I'd be interested in a tour if there's a place going.

Well, someone from AML in Gaydon is reading this thread.

Hello!

We shall await further developments...

I am not being cryptic, I had a conversation with someone from Gaydon and we'll see what they come back with...

I'd be interested in the tour, although at this rate I reckon we'd need to book half the available dates in 2012!

[v8vantage82]

Yes I would be interested too

[JohnG1]

Ok, so we have interest - preferably for a Saturday.

I have a call tomorrow with a gentleman from Gaydon so I'll update then.

[DB9Mark]

You can count me in anytime of the week

[Captain Beaky]

Count me in, diary permitting

[BA]

I'm up for this, and / or any other venue during Feb.

[AMGreg]

John, I would definitely attend too!

[yaeger]

Hey John... Sorry not to clear on this,, Are they only offering 1 week of tours ? or is it an ongoing basis ? Either way I am extremely interested.

Please say my name is down and I am coming in :-)

[Niki M]

Count me in too. Thx.

[Mr Noble]

I'd love to come too. Should have an Aston by then too. Off to see one now in fact!

Excellent. Good work, chap.

[burntout]

+ 1.... Would be up for that, would be better on a Saturday though......

[JohnG1]

Well, good news....

I have had a chat with some folks at Aston Martin and they'd be delighted to offer a special Pistonheads Aston Martin forum factory visit. Has to be a weekday though.

So - there are a maximum of 24 people allowed per day. We have been offered two slots:

Friday 27th April
Friday 11th May

Both days involve a 10am prompt start and finish about midday. Then perhaps off to a pub or a drive?

Also, please do note that any Aston Martin owner can request a factory tour via your dealer. The boys and girls at Gaydon are very happy to see owners have a look round their facility!

Can anyone interested please PM me with the day you want to visit and your real name, email address and a phone number? This is just so we don't end up with a massive great big thread - I have no desire to collect email addresses and will happily destroy the list once we are done. I will update this thread with the numbers of spaces available.

Edit to add - what about we say a maximum of two people per Aston Martin forum pistonheader? So wives, husbands etc. can come along too. Just state that you have a plus one on the email.
