Just got back from the Porsche driving experience up at Millbrook in a C4 and C4S Cab, good half day but they don't let you rip too much in the cars, more about showing you how flexible the engine is and how competent and clever the cars are. Still good fun though, 130mph on the outside of the banked circuit was pretty scary as was 100mph with cruise control on and hands and feet off everything!

Other than that there were acceleration and brake tests (amazing how late you can brake) and some fun on the Alpine ciircuit although they would only let me use third gear which took some enjoyment away - would love to have one of those in my back garden though.

Also had a bit of a play on the wet runway although only for a couple of minutes as we weren't supposed to be there...

Spent a bit of time in a tip too and I have to admit it was pretty impressive (never thought I'd say that!).

Aston and Merc were there too and the AMV8 sounds amazing down the mile straight.
