Hi Angus, I'm in your area too (work in Aylesbury).

Maybe see you around sometime

Cheers

Thanks for the tip, will def upgrade to the full day, and poss even let the Missus come along (she did an AMG day with me at MIRA (Hinckley) a couple of years ago, so she "can do skids now". Oh dear! Will they let her do donuts in an S/C?!

I think even Clarkson would have a problem doing donuts in any RRS! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Tata TDv8 HSE - Stornoway/ebony and straight grain walnut with towpack, Tasmods and an HST grille. Coming soon LEDs in the headlights
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Hi Chappylad,

We bought our S/C from Stratstones in Aylesbury a few weeks ago (my fifth RR from them under their various names over the last few years), and so far so good.
Similar prob to Keith with a warning symbol coming up, but disappearing on re-start.
Apart from that, brill car. Just had the headrest screens and 2 DVD players fitted by Edgeworthy's of Aylesbury, and the runner boards/mudflaps which we saw on an S/C at MPH 05 at Earls Court which finished the car off nicely. looking forward to the free half day play on the offroad course near Newton Longville (Milton Keynes).
Good luck with the new car.

I went into Stratstones...they were giving NOTHING away (not even a half decent trade in figure on my 535d Sport Touring!)

The salesman was about as useful as a chocolate teapot too.

I'll be using them for all my servicing work though, and they did look after me when I was having probs with my Vogue last year....so I'd best shut up! 55 plate RRS HSE Td6, Java Black, Alpaca/Cherry, Privacy, Steps, S-Charged grills/vents, Bluetooth

Chappyland,

'er indoors did the negotiating, and she got mats plus half a tank which lasted about 2 hours !

Good luck.

VA, I am off to Ashford to do mine in January (hoping for some snow/mud/generally useful conditions). I've only ever been to Eastnor Castle before - what did you think of the venue?

Mine isn't until January, VA - but I will be avoiding any cold meat starters that get put in front of me! Jan 14th I think it is... so will update then!

Yes, I am one of the people who have made it fully booked! I have sole occupancy for me and the wife. I will sit in the back whilst she screams out of the window because she's going over a blind crest and then while I'm driving, she'll be screaming at me not to go so fast (whilst crawling through gullies at 5mph). I don't really know why I bother to take her to these sort of things, but she did ask nicely... If I haven't killed her and ended up at her majesty's pleasure over the weekend, I'll report back on Monday!  

What is the additional cost of upgrading the day to sole occupancy for a whole day instead of the free half day for the wife and I then? Now: Range Rover Vogue TD6, JE Stage 1. (Green!)

*Gone: Range Rover Sport Supercharged 4.2V8 (Silver)
*Gone: BMW M5 5.0V8 (Silver)
*Gone: Subaru Imprezza Turbo (Silver)

£75 per upgrade, so once to include the wife and twice for the day for both of us = £225 in total.

Oh, you don't - believe me. Did you ever see the first series of Catherine Tate's show? There's a character on there that screams randomly and constantly at anything (i.e. the flashing of the Xmas tree lights etc). My wife is a bit like that.
