Took a leisurely drive up to Brands Hatch for a ‘Supercar’ driving experience.
5 cars, 3 laps each car, lots of cars to choose between...

have to say it was very commercial, with upgrade charges all over the place, but, hey ho, lovely sunny dry day and surprised by what impressed and what didn’t!
The 800hp Fast and Furious Nissan GT-R was pants and replaced the BMW i8 (JL!) I wanted to experience :oops:

Very pretty car though John :)
Aye it was mind- I’m fairly certain in i’s defence that it’d been limited if the throttle linkage, that and the fact the ‘instructor’ kept me in check (a bit anyway) didn’t help...
He could tell I drove a high power RWD car though given my steering angles,corner entries/exits and braking points...

Audi R8 - immensely
good brakes but too smooth (bland) otherwise.​

Old style Nissan GT-R auto, quick, but, a handful to drive fast.

Porsche 911 - 4wd track car, manual. This surprised me very quick and agile, lightest vehicle I drove but very enjoyable if uncomfortable.

Nissan GT-R ‘Fast and Furious’ 800hp - who knows - seemed like a rev limiter stopped anybody racing it.

V8 Vantage - absolutely loved it!!! Classy, classy car. May have to steal it....

Had the Mercedes Me App fitted and set up at local dealer.
A few useful things there along with a few gimmicky ones.

local place i dont use that much changed over 2 rear tyres to set of alloys I got refurbed about a month ago. only charged me £8 for alignment I wanted done and price of two new tyres for the front. Balancing and fitting for rear two was free:D. They have earned my loyalty for a return trip

Well its goodbye to the E Class, 3 years of excellence comes to an end as she goes back to the lease company, and sadly, cant get another one from my company. Nearest I could get in the class is the Volvo S90, which compares, almost. But all is not lost, I still have my best car, the SL350, always puts a smile on my face and for additional fun, the Fiat 500 Classic is there too.

The S90 is very decent

MOT day today :(

Passed with a couple of advisories, one of which I can do myself and the other is going into the local garage to be done.

Happy days :)
