Everything I expected, and few things I did not.

It took a while to get a booking sorted as I wanted a mustang at a location not too far from Coventry where I live. Eventually I got one six months after my birthday at Bicster. The day arrived dry and warm, ideal conditions, the location was well signposted and I checked in easily with no long queues, I had not expected some of the extras like having to pay extra for excess damage (£5,000) waiver insurance, or for a 2 lap "viewing" ride to get to know the circuit. But extra laps were only £10 a time so I bought two more making my ride in my chosen car (1965 Classic Mustang 5 laps. We had a briefing on safety and a full description of each of the cars on offer and tips on driving them. For the Mustang it was tips like mind the side exhaust which gets very hot and the roll cage as you climb in, and the lack of power steering or power assisted brakes! My name was called and I climbed into the car, it was in race trim so bare inside with no side windows. My memory stick was inserted to record my drive. We adjusted the seat as best we could, strapped me in and fired her up, the noise outside the open window was classic V8 roar and since it would not idle I needed no excuse to keep pumping the gas the rev the engine, Moving off the clutch bite point was a millimetre off the metal so it stalled but my instructor fired it up again and we inched forward as I heaved the wheel round to steer us on to the track. The five laps flashed by. I over took one other car when waved on, and I stayed on the track and did not stall again. The car was loud, harsh and juddered and rattled. the gear stick waggled about and seemed to move miles and many time I missed engaging the actual gear. (my instructor did it for me) my excuse is I am only 5ft 4inches and clearly too small to reach pedals and arms to short to reach gears. I loved every second of it, my 5 laps actually only lasted about 4 minutes of the 7 minutes I was in the car. Yes the laps are very short even at steady pace only about 1min.15sec. I got a rating of 85 "smooth ride" from my instructor. The deal on the video and prints was expensive but worth it especially if you drove lots of cars as it was one price for them all. Extra Laps in any car were on offer at £10 each, so I gave into temptation to take the Aston for a spin, once they put the hood down, it was worthy every penny! .
