Patrick had mentioned to me at the A4u conference that he knew the owner 6th Gear Supercar Driving Experience Simon George and the fact that Elvington Airfield in York is only 36 miles away from my home .
I don’t even know who mentioned that we should have a lads day out.. but when Simon invited me, Kieron Donoghue, Patrick Altoft, Chris Garrett, and Al Carlton for a VIP day, how could I refuse? I mean VIP.. 
Day started well, a quick spin around the track in a Range Rover with a female instructor basically pointing out racing lines and brake points, explained when to overtake and how. To be honest while sat in the Range Rover with Lamborghini’s roaring past us, I felt like a 10 year again.
This is me being told not to mess about 
joke, in fact the instructors actually made the day for me, they made you drive faster and faster
me getting ready for my first Supercar Experience of the day…
more Supercar Driving
not sure if the DB9 is a Supercar, but it scared the willies out of me
If you want to make someone feel like a ten year old, then 6th Gear do Driving experience vouchers for £89 - and if you really have a ten year old they have Junior Ferrari Driving Experiences

Well I commented on Blogstorm so I’ll comment here! I was there yesterday but got the driving day as a present for someone else so I just got to take pictures. I loved it when they put a tiny kid in a lambo and roared off - bet the poor kid wet himself! Awesome day, I’d recommend it to anyone

Hi Dave, Zoe pointed out you and a few other guys went to this driving experience on the same morning we went. Looks like you had a great time.
I have to point out the chap in the first photo (instructor in the Lambo) was amazing, such a top top guy. Treated me like royalty. That car was also the loudest and it was sooo fast, the acceleration just blow me away.
Drove the 360 too but I really didn’t like it, the paddle shift gearbox wasn’t smooth nor was the car fast. The instructor was a little grumpy too and didn’t let me rape it.
All in all it really was an ‘experience’, recommend to anyone

thanks for that Dave - that’s my youngest son and grandsons Xmas presents taken care of - the older ones and Dave can pay for their own - I’d go for it if they did matching handbags and shoes though (some lovley colours) - oh! and the cars were automatic ..
