Merecedes, Brooklands today- just by the motorsport museum. As part of it, we got to drive their VERY plush cars around a track with an instructor. It was a total blast- not sure of the model I drove- but was a 5ltr auto with all mod cons- they were showing us how the technology in the cars helped with emergency stops and water/ice. Part of it was on a roundabout being sprayed by water and we got to spin it with electronics (ESP etc) off then with electronics on to see how well it works- was loads of fun. It was all rather stomach churning, but really enjoyed it.

I was a little nervous as I've not driven a car since my crash in December and have only biked since- so wasn't sure how I'd get on judging the size of the car etc- but it was all still there.

If only I could afford such a car..... Probably still wouldn't get one though- generally too big for me...

I parked up next to a purple curvy with lowers- was a home spray job, a bit glittery but quite funky. Anyone local?

Also saw a silver curvy on the Hersham roundabout on the way home.
