A good day out. My wife purchased the experience for a gift to me. I selected the Austin Healey as it was my favourite car as a youngster but I have never sat in one. When arranging the date I telephoned your office and asked what shoes would be preferable - if wearing trainers would be suitable and was told they would be. Unfortunately they were very a poor choice as they were too wide. The accelerator and brake pedals were very close together and I had maybe 1/2 inch to spare - my foot was catching the brake pedal when on the accelerator and so it was very difficult to co-ordinate everything when concentrating on not braking by accident. With the gearbox being quite old and loose and strange to me and also having to get used to the controls, I was not able to drive comfortably due to the distraction of the pedal problem. I have an MG Midget and even that is ok with trainers. I had to therefore drive very slowly and could not enjoy it as much as I would have liked. The E-Type drive was fantastic. No pedal problem and familiarization was therefore easier. Learning the track layout and the controls became better in each circuit and after 6 times round I wanted to do another 6 or 20 to improve my skills more. Mark was a brilliant teacher as he constantly gave me good instructions and was fully focused on how I was doing. Yes, the adrenaline is there and the experience just ends too quickly. Thanks a million - you are well organised and have a lot to think about in your planning and arrangements- I guess footwear advise would only be relevant in the Healey 3000 and it was unfortunate that I chose the wrong shoes without realising. I will come back if I ever have the chance. Thanks again.... Ian Thompson
