In other news: My Aston Martin Day !


18 May, 2008 (12:43) Posted by Oli | , ,

My first post today has absolutely nothing to do with either Apple or the iPhone, but I wanted to share what a great day I had on Friday.

My fiancée (thanks Rach!) bought me a supercar experience for Christmas, and Friday was the first day I could get to go. It took place at Elvington, York (UK) and was ace ! I got taken around the track by a pro driver in a Subaru Impreza WRX, then was let loose in an Aston Martin DB9 Volante ! It was so much fun even my Mum got in on the action with a drive of her own, this time in a bright red Ferrari. Here’s a few pics from the day, with an in-car video of my run after the jump

The Aston I drive, whilst Mum had a go in the Ferrari (sorry guys, my Ferrari knowledge is pathetic, care to share what model it is?)

Video after the jump

There’s also an on-board video of me talking to the instructor and sounding a bit of a prat. Not overly exciting but thought I’d upload it, at least then you know what I look like !

I’d highly recommend giving this a go. Mine was booked through driversdreamdays.co.uk, and was the Elite Super Car Thrill.

That is cool! Man, if only I was old enough to drive! When I get rich enough I hope to buy a Bentley Continental GT!

Also, that looks like a Ferrari 599, but I am not certain…
