My experience was via a 70th birthday gift.As gift go,It was fantastic,more so as I have worked on a rebuild of an E type Jaguar back in 1970 and never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be able to drive one. The Aston Martin DB9 was a totally different experience. The only thing about it I recognised was the steering wheel,brake and accelerator peddle (obviously the car looked like a car)but driving it was sensational. The two instructors/mentors where excellent, I only hope I did both cars justice. My only regret was the video playback of the DB9, the speedometer just registered Zero through out so there was no sense of speed etc,.
