As I live just half-an-hour from the museum I contacted the curator, Stephen Lang, and obtained his blessing.

Forums suck unless one wants to chat and browse with no particular question in mind. I started the Aston Martin Feltham Club (www.AMFClub.com) because the AMOC was so expensive and does little in the technical side. So I have gathered a group of enthusiasts with the same Aston that I have. This allows us to correspond back and forward and as a result we have solved many problems. With forums you have to keep signing on (and having to remember a user name etc), but with email - BAM it arrives !!! The Aston Martin Owners Club is very upset with me and maintains the Forum is the way to go - but my experience with team.net and several forums - the team.net wins all hands down. As a for instance, I need a pressure switch for my master brake cylinder - so I sent out an email to my membership (much the same idea as team.net except tons of MGs but few DB 2/4s). I had a reply from a member with part number and using Copernic I found the cheapest supplier for the Lucas part - elapsed time ???? 31 minutes. I got a call from AMOC saying I should use the AMOC forum which I did, omitting to say I already had ordered a part. As of today (I accessed the AMOC forum today) there is no reply to my AMOC plea !!! Forums are complex, fussy, and not in real time ...."oh, god grief, I forgot to go to the forum AGAIN" Go look at the AMOC forum and see how complex it is ....and for no apparent reason except some techy sold them on all the "features" the software package had ...............and rarely used Your team.net system is far far the best ever and don't you forget it At 03:47 PM 1/8/2012, you wrote: >Once again I'll reiterate.
