It's not everyday you've got that massive big aston martin grill in your rear vision mirror! I couldn't pass up the opportunity so I gave it a bit of boot in 6th gear (I had to make it fair!) and his easily been able to stay on my tail. After a few squirts like this ive pulled left to let him on through so I could follow him for a bit. He was more than obliging to give it a bit of stick as his gone past me. The sound of that V12 under load... gorgeous! His taken the lead and I've locked onto his tail and proceeded to have a couple more mini runs. Awesome fun! We've both turned off at warwick, given each other the thumbs up and gone our separate ways. What a champion, made my day!It's good to see blokes with these kind of cars out on the road and enjoying there toys. Just wish I had the cam rigged up!!
