January 2007 - Prestwold Hall and the Cotswolds, England

Glen and I went to Prestwold Hall in Leicestershire to cash in his birthday voucher for a drive around a race track in an Aston Martin DB9. While we were there I decided to take the opportunity to have a passenger ride in a Porshe 911 Turbo. The driver was amazing and we got up to 127mph (about 205kmph) before hard breaking into corners. We also decided to make a weekend of the trip and stayed in the Cotswolds overnight and had a gorgeous drive around the following day.
