Just spent last two days down in Leicestershire working really hard. Corporate day out with a top notch company. Between doing my usual job had to do a bit of driving and flying, which is pretty normal for me.......but not like this........Thought you would like to see pictures, not meant to be me showing off!

drove the Porshe Carrera S, but didn't drive the Bently of the Aston cause I've had a go in them before.

Then drove the Ferrari 430 out on the country roads for about an hour.... awesome power

Only down side was there was a £5k excess when you drove each car and it was a lot more for the Zonda, which I wasn't prepared to risk on the open roads. they also breathalised everyone before we started. I suppose with cars costing up to £1m they have to be carefull. Did get to sit in the Zonda and blast the throttle which was enough for me "to wet me pants"
Didn't get to drive the Lambo because the clutch went half way through the morning.

And yours truly dreaming of a mini that could sound like this thing

And finally in the Helicopter which is a wee bit smaller than you offshore guys go in!!! It could fit in my shed. It's also a lot cheaper than some of the cars. There were also some really fast bikes, but the only one that appealed to me was the Norton Commando.

Can I book the 430 for the next run…I’d still come last…..Dam right I would have you seen how much they cost to repair:D. I fancy the Helicopter flight….I did the trial flight a few months back right down the Ayrshire Coast and back in a small plane…Fantastic…all the other guy did was take off and land I did the rest but I imagine the Helicopter was a different kettle of fish. :D

Looks a stunning day……:thumbs up:
