No point for me as I don't have enough hair to worry about, and I've been looking old since I got married...... :P.

To bring this back on piste, looks like a great collection of cars you got to try out there! Also great that you got to give it the beans - I went on something similar at Thruxton but was told to rein it back in when I tried to give it some.  Maybe he was able to discern my level of driving talent ...  :))

Oh, and a very happy 50th to you - congratulations !  :beer2:

Wow looked like a great day. Very jealous! As Mjim says it's good they allowed you to actually open the car up  :)

Happy Birthday however old you actually are anyway I don't believe it's as old as 50 though :D  :beer2:

Feeling very guilty when you guys are wishing me a Happy Birthday! Birthday was in Feb and this is the delayed present. These experiences get booked up so quickly and this was the earliest date that worked - mid November.

It was my 40th - thanks mods! >:(

Role-on 41st, bet I get socks.

Well, it won't be a Brillo pad like last year as you could not be trusted with that by the looks of it  :))

Nice one Sanj.

how did you find the gallardo?

My mrs got me one for my 24th and i got to drive the gallardo and an Ferarri 355. I thought i would enjoy the lambo the most as i dislike ferraris for some reason im not really sure about but the Ferarri blew my socks off, its was unreal on the track, the noise the response the general experience. I left the gallardo a little disapointed but then i guess its more refined for daily use...
