Club Arnage

For your pleasure :P

They were just Awsome!!! :o :o :o

They were indeed! Mind you, at £20 for an Aston Martin baseball cap they've got the money to throw at the cars! Top day!!!! :D

I dunno what anyone else thought but I looked at the Aston merchandise and thought some of it looked tacky. The T-shirts in particular looked faded as if they had been washed a dozen times. I expected somthing with a bit more class from Aston Martin, a bit like the Bentley stuff.
Saying that I did like the hats and maybe I should have bought one to shade my face cos I look like a beetroot this morning. :-[

A lot of their stuff is made by Hackett, so you would expect it to be pretty good!!

I'm not doubting the quality just the faded look. It dosn't reflect the wonderful colour green of the cars

Excellent - can't wait to see them at Le Mans as I couldn't get to Silverstone.

Just one question - what's with the orange sky? Is this local atmospheric conditions around the Northampton area or 'artistic' use of lens filters?

Not too worried by the price/appearance debate........
all my merchandise will arrive this week........F.O.C. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Expect to be bent over backwards and well and truly shafted in Le Mans if you want to buy it there, judging by the Silverstone prices. I bet the hats go for 30 euros a pot.
And yes it is polluted in Northampton

You could always buy your merchandise in advance from www.astonmartinracingcollection.com (http://www.astonmartinracingcollection.com) as I doubt that the pricing will be the same as at Classic Le Mans last year where the Euro prices were about 20% cheaper than UK £ prices on the Aston merchandise stand!  They were the cheapest there by a long way, and were practically sold out by Sunday lunchtime.

Didn't we pay $25 for the hats in Sebring?

Yet another subtle reminder ;D ;D

There or thereabouts (I thought $24).

Either way, fly them all the way to the US and they are £13 (ish) Keep them here in the UK and they are £20!!!  :o :o

And at Sebring they were being sold in the ALMS shop so they were probably taking a margin as well!

I just put this in another thread, but thought I'd mention it in this one...

Jon and I got our AM caps, £20 is quite a high price, but whilst standing in the paddock after the race, behind the AM pit, as the team drank champers, Mrs. Russ grabbed the caps from us, walked calmly into the restricted area, up to Mr. Brabham and asked him to sign them! So now our caps have his signature and are worth over £22.35 !!  ;)

I knew there was a reason for having a blond & busty wife!!  ;D What a darling!

My hat was signed by Ortelli and a couple of the other (different) drivers who were driving in Sebring. Chris24 will probably remember who they were, as he  had to point them out to me...

And mine is signed by a certain Mr Dave Richards!!  :)

Mine is signed by all the drivers at Sebring, just Tomas enge to get now. My home made Aston T Shirt is signed by all the drivers, Dave Richards and Freddi Dor !

...and my dad's bigger than your dad.

Damn, those Aston's look good! I cat wait to see them this year, they are top of my list of cars to photograph!

Chris

Been there (Sebring !) Done that see below, and bought the hat ! ;D

Not sure about the red lippy round the "mouth".... looks a bit tarty  ;) - do they do it in other colours?


F

Yep , yellow

Very pretty - but there is something slightly disturbing about the mouth shape - wouldnt want to see one of those coming towards me if i was surfing of the coast as Newquay  :-\  - I think there is a Peugeot (or maybe something else) with a similar shape.

F

perhaps a cyberman's mouth from dr who

Yes! thats it exactly!!!!!  - i knew i had seen it somewhere before

F

Fran It's disturbing me to see you keeping the same sort of hours which you said were odd about me a week or so ago.....

But the excitement is building innit?

 ;)


Bill

Lol Perdu - guilty of too many late nights for sure - but i just got outta the bath and i am sure there is some rule about not getting out of a hot bath n going right to bed.... cramp or something isnt it?

F

Too damned scary this Fran... I have just got out of the bath too!

But I didn't see you, sorry (Really)

 ::)

Bill

 :o - thats it.......i am off to bed... ALONE!

F

Want me to make this thread private?  :P

Smokie, kindest offer I have ever had, some private moments with Fran.  But I think she might feel safer with the rest of the world chaperoning...


 :(

Bill

Your right Fran, it's a dead ringer for a basking shark

But with the temprement of a great white when they come up against the vettes.
 Jaws, Ha, the yellow cars aint seen nuthin yet
