Hi people,
As some of you will know I've been trying to tick some of my bucket list off. Well last year Lamborghini Club paid for me to go to the NEC Classic Motor Show to go for a spin in a Lamborghini Countach which is actually my favourite car of all time.

Well now the weather is clearing up I'd like to try organise a spin in some of the other cars on my list. Would anyone else like to make me the happiest person alive?

Here is a link to my website http://www.dans-garage.co.uk/bucketlist.php

I was trying to figure out why the list but I can just about read the newspaper article in the link so I think I now know.

Well I can do the new (ish) Lamborghini Murcielago SV if that helps, where are you in the country? I have a few other wacky cars to see if you visit me.

Basically I was born with Arthritis and my family, friends and doctors told me to forget about driving as they said I wouldn't be allowed. Well 3years ago I proved everyone wrong by passing my driving test which made me wonder what else I can do which I would like to do, so I wrote my bucket list.

That sounds amazing, where are you from? I'm Sheffield

Have you tried contacting some of the dealers of the listed cars ?
In recent years, a friend of mine was diagnosed with terminal cancer at a young age. In his last few months, he'd made a similar list and many dealers bent over backwards to help out ticking them off
Dick lovett in Swindon are a great bunch of guys and have a vast selection of cars. I'm sure they could perhaps come up with something if you got in touch

Dude you sound like you need a new bucket list, seriously...
" 60.Stay in bed all day cuddling the one I love "

IT'S BUCKET LIST FOR GODSAKE!!!!

Should read " 60.Stay in bed all weekend with twins " or " 60.Stay tied to bed while candle wax is poured over my nipples " - some sh!te like that...

OMG - Here's another one... " 55.See the sun rise with the person I love "

Feel sick!

Hiya Mate,
keep ticking those boxes off, (especially the non-listed ones!)
Regarding the article you supplied to the LCUK magazine about our Countach drive, would you mind if I used it/republished it with SportingBears?
Cheers Jon

Some people are always going to think your list is crazy, take no notice they probably do not understand your situation, ignorance is bliss, tbh I like the list it would resemble mine for sure, only difference being I am older and have been lucky so have ticked plenty of the boxes myself already.

Jon of course I don't mind. But would you mind adding a link to my site? Also do you know anyone who can help with any of the others?

People close to me are my life. They all do a lot to help me so things like spending time with my girlfriend means a lot more to me.

I'm happy with my list sofar and it's made a lot of people realise that not only old people get my condition

You just missed out on an opportunity to tick several off at once. The Supercar event at Dunsfold, would have go you drifting, driven round a circuit, helicopter ride, drive a tank... Shame I didn't see this sooner.

There is a ride in an F430 spider (with photos) waiting for you in Berks if you find yourself down here smile

Highly overrated. Especially if one is a SWT!! I think his wish was spot on.

Well at Supercars In The City in Sheffield I managed to go for a spin in a Lamborghini Murcielago which was amazing but now before the bad weather comes I would like to tick at least 1 more off.

If anyone can help that would be great. I've had a couple of very nice offers but unfortunately they mean a long drive which I won't be able to do

I've also redesigned my website as I'd now like to start showing pictures I take at different shows so let me know what you think

Can help with the "Ride in a tank", though it would be near Bristol - let me know (PM me) if that's any good to you and I'll look into sorting it

@A4B - I've dropped you a PM awaiting reply smile

@AngryApples - That sounds amazing but at the moment I can't do long drives as I'm awaiting an operation on my knee to replace it.
