A bit of a blast!

This is my other car - I don't keep it at home in case the neighbours get the wrong idea .... just kidding!

Thanks to the generosity of a lovely couple, Tara and Jonathan, whose marriage I officiated at in April, I today took a spin - 5 spins actually - around the Teesside motorsport circuit in nothing less than a Lamborghini!  What a motor!  I didn't dare take my eyes off the road to look at the speedo, but down that back stretch, with the engine roaring and the instructor urging me to keep my foot down until the corner seemed to be just under the bonnet, it seemed fast - very fast.
It almost seems indecent to throw such a  beautiful car around such a small circuit so fast.  I bet on the open road it is even more of a pleasure to drive.  Now if I could just borrow one for half a day to trip across to a redundant airfield ... !   Tara and Jonathan - thank you very much.
