Hi Conor
We have a lot of new sources recommending our site (as opposed to personal invitations from me).
I'm following up the new "no name" or "number name" members with the following email:
BTW - when you get a moment, please add your full name to your "My Page" record.
Warmest regards - Stephen

We will improve this process (and the uniformity of our membership registration process) when we invest in Web 3.0 systems.
Phase 2 of our development...................................
Many, many thanks again for your caring concern.

Hi Conor
Thank you for your excellent suggestion.
I'll ask our CTO to implement it.
When we get together, I'll tell you about Ms Gabriella Ferrari Titalotti, who was very keen to share her Brazilian wares with all MyVRL Members that cared to visit.
Be careful, your be "full time" before you know it :-))
Warmest regards - Stephen

Hi Conor,

Your videos at Spa are great fun! Thank you for posting! I am so pleased to see other Aston Martin Vintage Racers in this group.

Best to you,

hi Conor

hope you're well -- yes the Aston was sold to a Swiss buyer. GBP being so low means you can buy Astons for little money in EUR or CHF terms. We are taking delivery of an Aston Vantage GT4 on Monday and am looking forward to our first test of the car on Goodwood on 23rd Feb which we managed to hire exclusively for us. Let me know if you want to join that day. Lookig forward to see you soon. Karsten

Many thanks Alexander, yes you were right my first race in the Aston in 2003 at Snetterton and i got blacked flagged for ignoring a black and orange flag and fined £50 for the privilege. It only got better from then on. My family were all there for the great occasion and the commentator said over the loudspeaker that it was my first race at 60 years old,"What a naughty boy" which has stuck with them ever since !
