For Steve's 16th birthday we got in a ha;f race day at the Subaru rally experience. Laura met us there too I thought it was on her way home but it was near Chippenham!, she lives at uni at Chichester..not sure I was that popular , especially s she had a car full of uni stuff to bring home oh and Munchie the hamster!!! But we met up and Steve showed his true driving expertise. He hasn't driven before, well not really, Pete did let him have a go in our new car when Steve was 14, with no tuition, ...and I don't want to repeat what happened but the outcome wasn't good, I still even now can't believe Pete would do that,...but he did! Anyway, the only tuition he has had was me showing him the gears in the died in the truck, so we were a bit apprehensive, especially when Steve asked "Do you think I can make the instructor scream!?" But Steve did really really well, he drove around the circuit at quite a speed and after a hour or so, he was a natural. I think he has the racing bug now though! He had a certificate and I took a few videos to remember it by, he also had a racing round as a passenger with at competition speed which was really great...But well done Steve XX
