Area 00 - March 2025 News

Amazing its mid-February already, and therefore its just over 4 weeks before we drop our cars to be shipped to Halifax in Canada.
It was really great to meet up with Bob Welch a couple of weeks ago in London at the RAC to run through our tour in detail as a group, the 'drivers briefing' as I like to call it.
April drinks are likely to be in the form of a zoom call from a lobster restaurant in Halifax on the 17th April, where we commence our tour!
Sadly I missed the AMHT Water Hayes lecture with Chris Corbould OBE due to unforeseen circumstances, but many thanks to Matt who very kindly stood in for me with others ably coping with my evenings champagne and wine allocation!!…
I look forward to visiting Aston Martin London in the next few weeks to discuss some plans.
Last week we announced the weekend to save in August for our isle of Dogs to the Isle of Man weekend, more details to follow.
And so as we head into March all our focus is on our rather intense daily ’00’ schedule in North America, all to be revealed day by day on our communication channels in photographic form as always….
Black Tie packed, check! Plus White Dinner jacket for the Grand Finale, check
Thanks to Simon for educating me and others on the intricacies of Le Mans as a group of us plan to be in attendance for the debut of Valkyrie 007 and 009 plus others of course in our newly established Le Mans and Racing WhatsApp group. And this time next month the 2025 F1 season begins with Adrian Newey on board, many exciting times ahead!
Stop Press
As mentioned in our email last month the next drinks are this Thursday 20th March from 18:00 at the RAC Club on Pall Mall. This will be the final opportunity to say Bon Voyage to are intrepid drivers before their epic trip through North America. All double O members welcome/expected for duty.
The next drinks will be in New York!
Cheers
Matt
