My lovely wife has purchased an AM performance day at Millbrook. She mentioned you can choose which car you drive. With that in mind, do I pick a 4.7 Vantage (I currently have an MY09 coupe), a DBS (which I will hopefully trade mine in for) or a V12 Vantage (which has to be the most fun and I havent driven yet).

Any thoughts?

I did this course in August... it was a great day, I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy it.

I have a 4.3 Vantage, but like you wondered which car to choose. I decided that I wanted to know more about the limits of the car I owned so plumped for the 4.7 Vantage (4.3 not available), I did not regret it, learning how much mechanical grip is available and getting some insight in to how the car behaves on the skid pan was really useful.
You can always go to your local dealer for a test drive, I am smile

I never got round to doing the course in my V8 but am going in April to do it in the DBS.

Having done the "taster" half day thing a couple of times, the V12V is a lot of fun on a track.
