Post Lamborghini Gallardo
For christmas my girlfreind got me a few pressies amongst which was a driving day at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire 8) I'd never done anything like this before, so I took my time to choose between an Aston Martin, a Ferrari, an Audi R8 or the Lambo :shock:

Decided that all the cars had a place in my heart, but I'd loved the look and sound of the Lamborghini Gallardo ever since I saw one getting onto the ferry at Hull to go to Zeebrugge a few years ago. So that was it. Choice made 8)

Got to Elvington at 9am. Drive day actually only started at 1015am for me, so hung around in the queue for my tuition lap. Then hung around for a further hour and ten minutes before it was my turn :? :shock:

But hell what a turn it was :lol: 4 laps of Elvington with a fuckin pest of a co-pilot mithering the tits off me all the way round :lol: But regardless he couldn't detract fron the fact that this was one hell of a car to drive. Just pure class in EVERY way, from the sound of the engine to the feel of the wheel 8)

Infact I'd go so far as to say that it almost felt as fast as the ATR :lol: :lol:

Has anyone else done anything similar :?:

Wish I hadnt had a co pilot :x Would have nailed it :P As is, I clocked up around 107mph, which wasn't bad considering the ain and distinct lack of straights on the circuit 8)

Sounds like you were in your element Paul :) Jammy bugger :lol:

Did a rally driving day course, nothing quite so exotic. just a Focus with stage 1 setup.

And a mental tutor, this guy was built like a brick sh1thouse and mad as a bucket of frogs!

awesome day, would do another track experience in a heartbeat.

Bet the lambo was really exciting
