Anyone going to the handling day this weekend?
Discussion
Luke,
Don't worry, there'll no doubt be quite a few partners and children who've never driven one before. My first drive was the 10 yards from the parking area to the start of the slalom course, so you'll have a head start over me and quite a few others at least. Relax and enjoy the experience.
I'm driving my dark blue roadsport in the morning and marshalling in the afternoon, so I'll keep a lookout for you.

We'll be there hooning around as usual - just relax and enjoy it - they'll be plenty of people making a fool of themselves (and enjoying doing so!) on their own without anyone noticing the odd stall! It is exactly what the day is about - relaxing and having a laugh, without having to worry about any rules or regs - you'll have a blast! We'll be in our blue 7:

Well guys, have fun?
I had an utterly brilliant time, drove my dad's car and a friends one (a 205bhp 40th Anniversary car).
Due to my experience I just fancied the 0-60 run as I wasn't quite up to chucking the car around with basically no experience, next time eh?
I did about 10 runs on the 0-60 and hit 5 sec dead (on the owners box of tricks) which I was mighty happy with!
His car was utterly, dementedly fast and in his hands did a 4.25!
But yeah, all round a top day, the 599 was gorgeous!
I just need a Seven now, I have the bug! /

It was a great day, didn't have my 7 there as I was driving the 599......tough life for some I did get a few goes on the Slalom in Angus's car I had an utterly brilliant time, drove my dad's car and a friends one (a 205bhp 40th Anniversary car).

I can think of worse things to slum around in!Was very nice indeed and sounded fantastic!
Unfortunately after driving my dads and our friends car I shall be auctioning off body parts to fund a 7!

The rate at which you launched off down the slalom was mad!
Like I said above, due to my experience I was more than happy just getting some decent launches out of the car(s) I drove and that was enough for my mind to recalibrate to, let alone cornering at the speed you did!
I'll try flinging it around next time!
