Here's a link:-

One of many derogatory comments from that link:-
"And what does all this leave you with once you actually settle down
to
driving? A slightly unsatisfying car, I m afraid. "

Guess the guy really wanted his satisfaction when he pulled up at the
ballet and the parking attendant started droolong over the
'Aston'.....

"F" the ballet!!
You would have loved what I did yesterday!!

Steering with the throttle ... hands on my knees...
Speed between 80 and 110 mph (hands on the knees,
not on the wheel)...
It was exactly like sailing without a rudder when you
balance the main versus the genoa. You would have
LOVED it Oz.

Don't tell me that you wouldn't have enjoyed
doing 180 degree turns, 270, 360, and 720 turns
in an Aston.

Hmmm, sounds like fun....next time try it in a more nimble car :-)

It was the most fun that I have had in more than 30 years!

Next time it looks like a F360 and AMV8 morning, followed
by rally instruction in the afternoon. Do they qualify as more
nimble?

Donal

It wouldn't take much to be more nimble that the 'Aston'.....I was
talking substantially more nimble.

So... the F360 doesn't make it?

What would you recommend?

I still haven't booked the next outing. A friend and I are going
to do a "Driving Experience" day for our next birthday (51). I am
genuinely open to suggestions!


Still It sounds like you're exploring your limits which is a good
thing

Last Tuesday... limits were not "explored", they were "exploded".


I'm looking forward to learning more about driving.
