If the weather is reasonable. Lots to look at and the Heritage museum.

Aston Martin test track with various "taxi rides".

MILI 635 will be in the coupe display area. Come and say hello.

Ron, saw your car but never managed to pass by when you were with it. How do you get it that shiny?

Elbow grease, a power mop and various cutting compounds.Finished with

a good polish. Thanks for the compliment.

PS The car had not been touched since driving up from Wales.

I went along with the war department.
We spotted a lovely highline M635csi in dark blue. No idea who's it was, but it was STUNNING!

I was surprised that most of the 6er's there were running on TRX. I thought all you boys swapped them out as soon as you got your cars? And to think my little on-line poll was screaming CHANGE THE WHEELS.

Practise what you preach boys..... practice what you preach.....

Unfortunately due to work, I could not make it this year. Gaydon is always a good day out. Hopefully next year.

I suspect it may have been a case of "Sunday Best" as far as the TRX's were concerned. Mine are in the loft in case I ever need 100% originality.

The latest TRX's are supposed to be an improvement on the originals but still, the price is ridiculous.

Add in the problem that should you suffer terminal damage to one you are screwed unless you're lucky & Longstone have some in stock. Since they are only made in small batches the chances are you could be waiting for some time.

So, my Six rolls on conventional rubber which is more affordable, more available & has superior performance. My particular wheels are easier to clean too
