So as we are blatting down the road at maybe 80/90 mph Steve my boss says to me OK Bob how does it feel driving a car worth in excess of £500,000.00 (gulp)
And did that add to my trepidation.
Not much
Not a Veyron but!

Bob,
It may well be worth 1/2 a million but I bet you would not want to give up the experience of driving it for any amount of money!!! You lucky begger, I might get the chance to drive one of David Browns products in my line of work but unfortunately its a tractor and not an Aston!!!!
Regards Peter.

Thanks for the tour last week - it looks a dream place to work and the cars are something else.
And then get a shot driving one as well??
It could only be beaten by getting the same deal working at a modelling agency I guess....
Full marks to messrs GENTRY, and thanks again.
Cheers
Alan
