My 12 yr old son's Lambo drive
Very special day for me watching my lad Nathan drive a Gallardo. He got to 73mph and had a very proud Dad.

Cheers guys, it was about Ł100 Martin.
Really brought a tear to my eye,couldn't believe how well he did, he could only just reach the pedals.
Funnily enough, the first car I drove was rear engined and Italian - a Fiat 126 pmsl.
Already said he wants to do it again but can't decide which car to do it in.There was also a Nissan Gtr, DB9 and 360. He thinks he wants to try the Gtr as that's what I drove but he likes the Aston as well.
It is a bit special to say the first car you ever drove was a Lambo isn't it?

"Everyman" do them, I think the only requirement is they have to be 4'10 and my lad's just reached it as he's one of the smallest in his class.
Then Ł30 for the USB stick.

I done something similar at knockhill but i only got to drive a 1.2 corsa
We were repeatedly told "It is NOT a race track" and "stay off the curbs"
I got up to 70mph but still only managed a 3 minute 30 second lap

i've done that, and its the best driving experience you can do IMO, x10 better than the supercars
also, fairplay to your lad, must be proud!

Yes mate extremely proud.
I've done it before and you're right, it is so much better than any experience as you can really give it the beans. Mrs bought it me again because the video didn't work last time and she wants to see what it's like.

Cheers guys he sure is the apple of my eye, can't take all the credit though as the other half came up with the idea when she saw it.
