I entered the Beaujolais Run which I took part in the week before last.
Aston chose to use it as the first road outing for the DBS. It was awesome. When it pulled out to overtake, flames licked out of the exhaust.
59 cars took part including an Aston DB5, E type roadster, Ferrari 360, 355 etc etc.
Was a great event and the DeLorean was extremely reliable. Some cheeky git offered to buy us a pint if we made it to Macon without breaking down. I think I recall overtaking his Range Rover 4x4 with a blast from the "Dixie Horn" at some point ha ha!
We managed to raise over £150k for charity through the sponsorship on the cars (we paid the race overheads so 100% went to charity).

Congratulations on the charity work! By the way, what does the really small text say on your rear fascia? :?:
- NEM351S - 27 Nov 2007
It was in French, but translated roughly as:
"This is not a race, but a charity run. Many thanks for having us in your country".
