Guess what went to work today and guess what, i was working for a guy that contracts to Prodroive designing, ehh. He is working for Aston Martin at the mo.

He has asked me to do some private work for him now (as in forigners on the side) which i have of course agreed to do for a price We got talking when i found out where he works about PPP and he said he will see if he can get hold of a few bits and bobs for me, as he obviously knows people there including Dave Richards. So what a good day i have had in all

I guess i am only posting this as i am pretty exicited about todays developments call me sad i spose.Looking forward to those prodrive mods hopefully.

Met Dave Richards at the festival of speed this year. He was looking at a Zonda and we chatted about the state of F1, and tended to agree with me that rally drivers are at least as talented as F1 drivers. Seemed a nice enough bloke...

/useless piece of information

Dave Richards has a rather interesting collection of aston`s himself, including a very rare DB3s(correct me if im wrong!) i beleive only 6 were made??

A very pointless piece of information.... but information all the same!!

Yea he should do Dave he was involved in designing the paddle shift sequeitial gearbox. I didn't mean he was going to blag stuff but he said he may be able to get PPP parts and suspension parts at cost or maybe cheaper, or maybe not as we all know Dave Richards is a shrewd buisness man I will not hold my breath for cheap parts though i was just chuffed to meet a man who designs for them shortly after getting a scooby myself.
