Perhaps a little bit more ôout thereö than other marques, but it is interesting to look at. The Aston Martin OwnerÆs Club North America has 500 members. It was difficult for me to get exact figures but I saw a source that listed annual sales of Aston MartinÆs in North America at 200 cars, and another source that said there were 450 Aston Martins registered for the road in North America. Irregardless, the penetration of the club in North America is on the order of 100%.

The club is divided into two sections for geographical reasons: east and west. Each section organizes its own major event every year: one at Lime Rock and the other at Monterey featuring racing, concours, track tours and touring. In addition, each region and the local clubs organize local events, tours etc.

Each member receives the following:

AMOC North American Publications - North American members receive 4 annual issues of the AMOC Quarterly. This reports on both Eastern and Western Section club activities, competition results, technical articles, new product information and a calendar of events. Display and classified advertisements offer a multitude of Aston oriented services and products.

AMOC UK Publications - North American members receive two excellent AMOC/UK publications. The small format AMOC News Sheet is published monthly (11 issues), while AM Magazine, which features color printing, is received four times per annum. Members also receive Aston published by Aston Martin Heritage Trust. Both AMOC UK and North America produce book format Members Lists and Car registers every two to four years.

I personally have been a member/subscriber to the Aston club and I can confirm that the quality of the magazine and publications is incredibly high. Membership is not cheap (neither is the car!), it costs USD$182 per year to be a member. From the stats on memberships, no one is complaining about the cost!
