Driving Experience Days

[letdown427]

I went and did one today, a few laps in:

New Jaguar XK8
New Porsche 911
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Lamborghini Gallardo
Aston Martin DB9

All I can say, if you're male, you really should go and do at least one of these days. It was awesome.

OK, so it was booked through this place. You have to book in advance and pay for it etc, you can't just turn up!

That's the one I did, top right on that page (assuming it stays as the Euro Challenge one in Loughborough)

If you don't have stuff like that in the US, maaaan you're missing out.

You're supposed to PM me if you're a Brit. I thought everyone knew that. :|

Oh, really? Damn, I missed that memo. I'll fire my secretary, I promise.

I presume it's a bit pointless PM'ing you now? Why are we supposed to anyway?

Oh OK, cool. What do you do in London? Few friends of mine go to Uni there, another is heading down to Uni there in a week or so.

Either way, yes, I'm English too. Are there lots of us?
