OK Guys, I Did It!

[The_Laird]

Some of you may have heard (or even delivered) the jibes about my 'cautious' driving. They're usually along the lines that, because I started my '8 experience with a 2.8, and I now have an S8, that I haven't appreciated the difference!

So, I asked my wife for a professional performance car driving lesson at Scotland's only professional race track - in my own car - for my birthday present. What a great experience!

After the initial trepidation, I gradually gained the confidence to throw the car around a bit - and it didn't even twitch (well, maybe once or twice). I even passed a Ferrari 360 and had to slow down on the hairpin for an E-type Jag!

So, next meet, I hope you all won't be either stuck behind me or waiting for me.

These cars are amazing!
