granby Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 As some of you may know i treated my dad to a drive in a Aston Martin DB9 as a birthday present Well today was the day and we set off to Prestwold Hall near Leicester midday and got there about 3pm, dad signed in and had a briefing and then it was time for a lap of the circuit by a instructor in of all cars a WRX (wasn't the fastest colour though) After the lap it was time for the real deal this is what he had to drive absolutely lovely Dad did a few laps and good on him he was pushing it (unlike some) and managed to overtake a few cars and before he knew it, it was all over way too soon but he throughly enjoyed it He has a DVD with picture in picture footage of the track and him driving and a few professional photos (which i'll try to scan later) to remember the day Heres a few of the other cars that were there (the Lambo was beautiful and sounded wonderful)
leebo77 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (wasn't the fastest colour though) Correct - it wasn't black! LOL. Looks like a cracking day though. Hope he enjoyed it!
