I did mean to post this up in July. 4 up, 4 laps of the full circuit, this is 1 lap and it was a lot closer and tighter than it looks. Still we managed over 120 in the old girl, 130 earlier 2 up with less traffic, so not a bad day out. classic Le mans parade laps... So what ywas your highlight?

I never click on the links to people driving round tracks but I did and thoroughly enjoyed that. Stand out moments were wriging it out and getting passed by the Porker spitting flames and boxing the nice 3200. Also the driving gloves were rather special??  Any photos of the car you were in?

They do look nice but so slow by todays standards! Is it yours? And are the driving gloves yours?

It is mine, but mine is a 3.4T with said to be 300bhp and a tad quicker....although not modern ferrari fast, point taken. Driving gloves were part of the "spirit" of the classic, ie dressing up. Ok we hammed it up and didn't look that special but all part of taking part and having fun.

6th Gear Experience was probably my highlight, just beating chasing Dan (post-spin) in Ben's 911 after the karting meet.

My driving highlight of the year was probably from home in the Borders up to Forres to see my parents with my 4 year old daughter in the front with me, just the two of us. I used to do the same trip with just my Dad when I was young but going from Forres to the Borders. I loved it as he went a wee bit faster without Mum and my brother and sister in the car. I remember hitting 75 in our champagne Gold Allegro estate.  Fast forward 30 years and the Saab estate is roughly the same shape but probably twice as heavy and 5 times the power. Emily kept asking "can we overtake all the slow people Daddy?" That's my girl.

Driving the Italian/Swiss passes in October, though almost as fun was following some locals in the dark down the twisty roads along the edge of lake como - they don't hang around!
