The car went already to UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain and Switzerland

The Max is number 33, it was originally purchased by some one living in the Lake District, i have his details but for privacy purposes i am sure you will all agree its not for the revealing. i am told he had a collection. 33 has only 1900mls, where he decided the colour scheme from i do not know, it certainly wouldn't of been my choice, however as like my capital shouting letters i am BOLD and outspoken so they tell me, i like DIFFERENT so 33 with its Lamborgini Celleste Blue suits me. It will be going to lake Como hopefully this summer, i was there last year in my BMW635 , got to say it was the best holiday yet, touring France-Germany-Switzeland-Italy and back up. The last thing i owned that was cramped uncormfortable, noisey and expensive was probablies 30yrs ago in my youth. The car is with Beamish Morgan Workshops at the moment awaiting new Horn Press switches the Horn wasnt working so Julian Kindly agreed to have it sorted for me, however i am getting itchy now,i was having withdrwal systems on Sunday so had to have a ride up there and see if it was been looked after (idiot) we have went from -2 deg to +11 here in the north today, so i will be needing it back very soon. PS sleepless nights!! i remember them well, but my 2 are 22 and 18 now so we still get sleepless nights woring were they are

Mine is around 19000 miles at present - though I ahve to admit that the previous owners did most of this! At my current rate of mileage everyone else will overtake me!
My car is Prototype #2 (No Aeromax Chassis number) and has been to many many places in it's life (trying to verify if it was in Singapore or Jakarta at one point!) but with me it's been in the UK and France - proving as all Aero's do to be a fabulous touring car perfect for French roads...
Iv'e toured through France Italy Switzerland Germany Belguim etc in Aeros before though. Made it as far south as Pisa in my S4 in 2009...

The reason you worry about them is because they are doing what you used to do when you where that age . Enjoy German we have friends who have a place in the Black Forrest .Dont mention withdrawls its heading to 3 years for me and my gargage walls have scratch marks up them .

Plenty of memories with the Max now:
Car broke down five milles from malvern the day of delivery
Car broke down five kilometers from home when reunited
Lost my first window in Milan
Lost the second one in Monaco
Broke te third one home
Tail windows opened under heavy rain just after I met my current partner
Oil filter went off on a trip to Nice
Side windows opened in heavy rain when going to a wedding party
The main switch broke in Prague
The rest was uneventfull

Does anyone think it could be Cabin pressure that makes the windows blow, i am thinking if you drive with the side windows down, the pressure against the back inner glass must be of some force, or as suggested by someone could it be they were not reseated properly into both fixings after opening!!
