Left home at 5 am,top down all the way to Rockingham.
Blessed with luck as it stayed dry all day apart from the last few miles home.
We arrived early so went to see some friends close by,went back to the track at 9 am met Ben from ClassicCar Mag top bloke ,but the Lamborghini wasn't there the trailer was stuck on the M11(yes you read it correct i said trailer)Anyway half hour later the car turns up,and i met Chris the owner he took me straight out for a ride in it great bloke.
Lots of waiting around for the pics , but it gave us plenty of time to look at each others cars.
We had one shot where he wanted us to drive round a hair-pin one of us scrubbed a few thousand miles off their tyres
Carn't wait for the pics to be sent up so i can post some on here, hopefully he got me going sideways
Thats all i can type for now i need afew to chill

Oyea nearly forgot it will be in the mag early January

Excellent Steve; you may be the only person to have driven that car properly. The sound on Sunday was awesome.

The previous owner of the Lambo spent over 40 grand on it could only be described as new condition.
Fantastic car but not something you can use,made my car look rather tatty with the stone chips, but then again my car is there to be used and not a show car
