So I am always going on about, how much I love these Aston Martins, everytime we see one driving along. This isn't very often I have to say. So then Nig decided to give me the experience of driving one for my birthday last year. I got to drive the car around Thruxton circuit, one of the fastest racing tracks..... now how excited was I when I finally could do it.  

Lucky the weather was great. First you get three laps around the track in the powerful Mazda3 MPS. An experienced driver takes you around the track at some speed , explaining when to accelerate when best to turn into the corners and so on. Then finally I could get into the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and start driving. The car was just so easy to handle I really got carried away. My instructor wouldn't let me go any faster. I suppose it was fast enough. It  just went too fast. Shame. I thought it was a great experience, when we ordering our own? I better sell a few more paintings first.
