My first time out today for over two weeks. My vantage is now 10 months old and only done 2200 miles!! It was fantastic to be out in the sun. Went out with my 10 year old son, who adores the vantage. We had lovely clear roads and ended up at AM Reading which is closed on Sundays but they have an open car park where they had two Rapides, two new vanquishes' and a new DB9.

Spent twenty mins there discussing the relative merits of each car and then headed home. The roads are still slippy but the vantage is so sure footed and fun to drive. Looking forward to more sunny days

Best regards

Josh

Yes you must, I detected an element of wheelspin on your departure!

Fun and games aplenty this weekend. Didn't make it home Friday night so crashed at a mates place, he helped dig me out in the morning (I like how my tyre marks show I was tail happy):



I then had to abandon the car 2 miles from my Parents place as there was absolutely no chance I was getting near, nice walk that with about 50kg of luggage and food shopping for stranded parents.... frown - I did however put a positive spin on it by just taking in how beautiful home is....







Then as if by magic, it rained like crazy Sat eve, melted the lot, I got the car back up to Mum and Dads, cleaned it, snapped a few and took off for a good hoon:

Apaches are a bit more the Suffolk way (HRH's stomping ground)We see quite a lot of Tornado's over this way - not too far from Marham - and only about 1 mile from the Wash itself so lots of activity as they head out to the ranges over on the Lincs side.

He is only looking for a test drive to choose his next toy. He has to spend that fortune on something

Thanks matey. Its been a pain with work so far this year, nothing on but working 6 day weeks for support "visibility". Where are you heading to?

Sadly not, I'm on my friends stag in Newcastle that weekend.... could be damn messy! Hopefully be back a few times in between though.

Shame. I'm off back to Somerset for a month, then off to Lincolshire to teach again. i'm sure there'll be plenty of other runs.... smile
