Aston Martin Update & the Valkyrie breaks down at Goodwood

Post by SSO »

Just posted up a new blog on recent changes in the Aston Martin BoD and the ongoing saga of the Valkyrie which has now broken down twice at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Damn shame isn't it. An unenviable task trying to untangle financial shenanigans that have been years in the making.

Goodwood FoS hill has had a few PR boo boos, the Land rover that blew up its gearbox and some other supercar that I cannot bring to mind instantly.

It's infuriating that what should have been hypercar royalty is a growing joke, too many proverbial cooks.

Evija was is close proximity to the Valkyrie in today's runs and the falling out between Williams and Lotus/Geely surely has some juicey gossip?

That corner catches out a huge number of drivers. Andy Green of SSC heroics crashed a brand new XJR there a few years ago.

YouTube has hours of fails from there.

You can bake some pretty strong chocolate that will last a lot longer than 45 minutes 8-)

Regardless of the development issues I think the Valkyrie would still be where my imaginary millions would be going.

That's easy to say when they're imaginary though! :lol:

Make sure you set aside a few quid for a trailer. You will need it.
