Driving experience tomorrow
Ben has some photo's of the day but has'nt had the time to reply as yet,I drove to Great Tew where Vision Motor Sport was,thankfully Ben had his sat nav with him as it took me to places that I had never been mainly lanes which is great,apart from wet,mud and broken up surfaces,finally we arrived there,my car looked liked it had been in the RAC rally the circuit was damp but the sun was out,parked up were Lambo's,Audi R8s,Aston Martins,Porshe and Scoobys,I will let Ben tell you about his experience he did say you need to go in the Aerial Atom once in a life time experience,so I did and WOW!I want one it was good to have an experienced driver taken me around and he seemed on the limit every where,and because the car is so open you can see the driver really working to keep it on track,and the sound of the super charger whining in you ears I can hear it now brilliant.the driver was from the BTCC and drove the Ginetta's.Now where do they do the V8 Aerial Atom experience

Lovely to drive,very planted..but i wouldn't dream of spending that sort of money on that car. i couldn't get the power I expected,(definately slower than my mr2) managed to get her into 3rd gear where there felt a slightly better pull, but track was too small to really use the 3rd gear. lots of gadgets and comforts, but not the car i would buy if i had that money to spend.

Now for the atom....F**K what a bit of kit. I nearly had a brown accident the first time we went down the straight, the driver left braking until last second, felt like we were going to fly off into the bushes. that was until i saw how good the brakes were. all the way round the track he pushed it to the limit, wheels were sliding and twitching round every bend. The driver was superb. absolute pro. i wouldn't let just anyone drive me round in an atom.
Anyway, i came away with a grin for about half an hour, convinced my dad to have 2 laps passanger and he also loved it.
More pics to come..computer running very slow!
