Ever had...

[Olgaline]

One of your childhood dreams come true ?

I've always dreamt of trying a propper thoroughbred car, this weekend I've had the pleasure of having a Jaguar XK at my disposal (isane fun, and propper scary!)
The sound of the engine is insane! I also got to drive a Daimler 4.2 Super V8 from 96 (same engine "kinda") very different feel

He's taking a group of his best customers to an Aston Martin event from the 14-17th next month,
one of them just fell of his bike, broke 3 ribbs, is badly bruised and was thought to be out. the spot was offered to me!

I went to the hobbit village, was pretty cool to see. Everything had been made up to spec again just like it’s going to be in the movies. Apparently I cannot show pictures since I’ve signed my life away. A sheep who probably hasn’t signed the agreement was trying to get in to hobbiton, it wanted the lush green grass.

Back in the days when I had money/didn't have children I rented a convertible one of those in LA and did the whole Southern California lifestyle thing for a few days.
