Haven't been on long enough to thank Andy, Simon and the team (Vicky)at 6thgearexperience for the other Saturday.

My stag do of 16 of us all really enjoyed the day, I said it last time and I'll say it again this time, you are all superb guys and girls and you really make the day! Cheers!

Here are a couple of pics selected from about 50+....

This time (LP640 last time) I drove the Arial AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtom, V8 Vantage and some guy tried to scare the b'jebus out of me in the Caterham......all in all, nice way to spend a Saturday morning!

+1

Additional silencers due to noise limit?

Correct - dissapointed when I discovered this though - thought they were GE-AFF-455 Military Flame Throwers!

Are there any age limits for this?

I quite fancy a pop, bit young though. I saw the 'youth' driving one, but don't really fancy the Auto gearbox...

Cheers.

Give *LamboAndy* an email - as long as you've got a driving licence!

Definitely going to have a go at this pretty soon. I fancy doing the Gallardo, the the 360CS and then the LP640. I believe one of the packages can be tailored to facilitate this.

Hi John,

Glad you had a great day, even though the weather was a bit iffy at times!! You guys are welcome back anytime.

For the other posters as long as you are 17 with a full licence you can drive any of the cars. We now have a Gallardo Spyder and the new LP560 is due end of next month.

Andy.

Andy, did you get my PM? I think my PM system is a bit duff and it might not have worked...

Are you sure you'd be able to handle them?

Hi Andy,

Can you tailor a custom package type thingy for us PHers with a friendly rate? ;-)

And when are you getting the Vanquish S? That and the LP640 back-to-back would tick a few boxes. Get an F40 next, you know it makes sense! ;-)

Hi there,

I think Andy uses the Callistos for best. I have been to loads of 6th Gear events as a photographer and the car has only ever had the Callistos on once, the rest of the time is has been running on its original wheels.

Don't like the original wheels myself, much prefer the Callistos. Perhaps Andy feels the same and therefore he's not to fussed if they get damaged.

Regards

Tim

Figured it might be something along those lines!
