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

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

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

Feel sick!
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

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

@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.

Hi people,
I'm back smile Now the weather is clearing up a little I'm hoping to start trying to tick more of my bucket list off. I've not had chance to do much as In November last year I had knee surgery so been unable to drive. I also had to move out of my family home after a family disagreement so had a lot on my mind.

On the good news side I am now engaged and happily living with my fiancée in her parents home (currently trying to get our own place). Also it appears my surgery went well and I'm slowly getting easier to walk and can now drive again as I couldn't drive straight after the op.

Anyway if anyone feels they could help me please let me know how. Unfortunitily although I can drive I can't drive too far 30miles round trip max from Sheffield. So if you live further it would be great if you could either drive here or meet somewhere.

Anyway here is a link to my website again. Anyone who helps will get added to my website and if you own a business I will add your logo. www.dans-garage.co.uk/bucketlist.php

Thank you for the offer it sounds great but due to my surgery I can't travel far at the moment. After like 60miles I have to lay down for a few hours to straighten my leg otherwise it just locks up

Thanks, I'm rubbish with spelling and grammar. I prefer people that tell me rather than laugh so don't worry about it hahaha. I've actually removed that one now as my family always get upset about it, although I didn't mean kill myself in a car lol

I'd just like to thank Tony for an amazing day. I received an email this morning saying that if I could get to Manchester I can go for a spin in his Lamborghini Diablo SV. I set straight off on a 1hour journey with my fiancée.

When we got there I saw the most beautiful sight, The one car from my childhood I'd always loved and never thought I'd ever see (a yellow Diablo). I feel bad now but I left my fiancée in my car while I ogled over the piece of art. Once I'd some how managed to get in we set off for an amazing ride. I loved seeing people turn round after hearing the engine.

After a bit we parked up so we could take the following pictures

If you are ever in Germany, I could help you with a couple of things on your list.
I plan on visiting Germany at some point as at some point I'd like to do a road trip through Europe, just got to wait for my legs to get stronger.

The scary part about visiting Tony in Manchester is that on the way back my phone which I was using as Satnav went flat and I had no idea where I were or how to get home. I ended up using my fiancées phone to call my mum to get directions. But the only way she knew was to follow signs to Leeds then hope for signs saying "M1 South" haha. Long drive but eventually managed it

Quick update. After a member contacted me from on here saying he has a mate who can help me I soon received another email from a guy with a Bumblebee Camaro offering to take me out. So on friday I'll be going for a spin.

I'm really excited smile

Earlier today I received a call from a guy who asked if I was up to anything and if not would I like a spin in his Ferrari California. It didn't take me long to reply saying "no" hahaha.
