Tashyboy
Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
So as part of Tashyboys 60th birthday Treat from March. Every month on the 1st Missis T surprises me with a monthly envelope to say what me surprise is. And today we ended up in the Doncaster area on a track day in three cars. Holden by Missis Tash.
First up was an E Type Jag. Bottom line it was as basic as you could expect. 4 speed manual steering wheel big enough to turn a tanker and arms like Garth needed to turn it. It was a brute. Last time I was in one I was about 9 yr old.
Next up was a Maserati GT. Quite simply it was an untamed beast, paddle shift up and down and it was just unashamed power. It sounded and performed exceptional. Missis T booked that coz I like the Italian cars.
Last up was an 18 year old Aston Martin DB9. For 10 mins I was Tash Bond. Without a shadow of a doubt It was my favourite by a country mile. The guy that sat with me really explained the GT aspect of the car. The steady supply of power compared to the Maserati. The easier paddle shift. Quite simply it was quintessentially British and I loved it.
Last off is one lap in car where a guy drives toy round in a car where he drives it like he has stolen it. God some folk can handle a car.
Re the day it is set up to milk money and they do a bloody good job of doing it. The experience of driving a car that 99% of us can only dream of is a once in a lifetime.
On a downer, the cars look absolutely hammered and a bit/ lot scruffy. The Maserati had an airbag warning light on and a wheel pressure sensor light on. The Atom had broke down. But it did not put of the hundreds paying out there brass. The Airfield strip Track was bang average so if I was to do it again. It would be on a track but I would deffo do it again.
cheers Missis T from Bond, Tash Bond.
PS, think Ave broke the British record for the fastest Pair of Crocs
