If you get the chance to have a days training on a skin-pan. Do it.
It was a huge amount of fun.

Powerslides, hand-break turns and learning some crazy move where you reverse at speed and then spin the car 180 before flooring it in the other direction was great.

Awesome
I thought about asking for one of those driving experiences for my birthday, and then I forgot. I might see if I can get my family to club together for it next year, although it's not a 'milestone' birthday so I can't see them going for it, really.. :(

Promise to show them your boobies

I keep telling you
my boobs are really not that exciting, and if I show them to my family I am more likely to get sectioned for my birthday than an aston martin driving experience.

How about threatening to show them Al's boobs?

That would probably be considerably more effective
and terrifying.

Just mail them a link
to one of those 'live views of earth from space' sites, they'll see them soon enough.

I did it at Castle Combe years back
Looking on their website now, it looks all sensible and responsible. I don't recall ever having a briefing about cars that are likely to over-steer or a detailed breaking briefing.
