Cheers for that Mark, much appreciated ;) Had a little trip round the factory yesterday as a treat to myself, something I've wanted to do for ages.Had a great time and did the tracks afterwards in a new TDV8 RR, quite an impressive beast. I'd recommend the factory tour to anyone, it's a brilliant trip Anyway, the car attracted quite a bit of attention, both from the experience guys (that looks a bit shiny!) and also a bunch of americans doing the full day tour "WOW, you actually drive this everyday??" WOWWW. Americans, don't ya just love them. Took a few photos whilst I was there, with mine up alongside Augustos car is it ?? Also, thanks very much to Alan for the trip round Gaydon afterwards, that's one hell of a place, very very impressive. Perhaps I should've listened at school and been the mechanical engineer as I always wanted to be :P So, few photos here of the last few days. Some are a bit grainy as my good wife took the camera with her 3 weeks ago so I've had to use my cameraphone and that's a bit rubbish. BV55 YZE doing a 'farewell' tour I guess you could say.
