Sounds like you had a great day.From my files
For my 40th, Senior Management bought me a TVR Trackday, at Bruntingthorpe
We combined it, with her undertaking some consultancy work at Market Harbrough
It was a bit belated, as we didn't manage to do it until into November

The 'Griff 500' is still probably my top dream car, barring unattainables such as a 289 Cobra
It was just so flexible, with the torque just seeming to pull the tarmac towards you
And, the noise, even inside was wonderful

"Darling!, can I drive it home?"

Then I got to drive a Sagaris, for a couple of laps
Then.......as a passenger, with a madman
I still remember looking across & seeing 175MPH, at one point!
AND, him following a Lamborghini 'whatever' into a corner, that itself was lining up to pounce on an 'Evo'
He suggested waving goodbye to the Lambo, out of the corner, & it was dropped quite rapidly!!!
A mental machine!!

My Mum bought me a driving experience at Bruntingthorpe one year.
I turned up on my bicycle. I think this was a first for them!
