scream if you wanna go faster!
A few weeks ago Dad & Uncle Colin were allowed to be in charge of some very expensive kit.
For his 60th birthday (see here for my post earlier this year) mum had bought dad a driving experience at Prestwold Hall in Leicestershire. They had a choice of cars but in the end went for the Lamborghini & what a pretty thing she was too!
After a rather in depth briefing (we were allowed in too but I was completely lost as they explained what cone they should look for where to get the best drive!) they were driven around the track & had each corner explained, then it was their turn!
Dad walked up to a bright yellow Lambo & had the car along with all it's bits&bobs explained to him by the brave man who was to sit with him round the track ;-)....
After Uncle Colin had his go as well, the both of them plus Adam (chuh boys & their toys!) hopped in another car for a chance to be driven round the track at high speed while us women watched from on top of a hill waving their men off!
As you can see they were both very proud of their certificates & it proves you can never be too old to be classed as a boy racer! Thankfully though dad didn't try zooming the Prius round any country roads on the way home!
....then it was time for him to get in, start up the engine & he was off...
....after about 3 laps dad pulled into the pitstop & you couldn't wipe the grin from his face. The guy said that he did really well & scored him 36 out of 40! Not bad eh & he even got to meet The Stig (well kinda!)!
Well it ain't every day you turn 60! Enjoy it dad!
