I haven’t driven a seriously fast car for the best part of 6-7 years. So caught up with some Melbourne friends on an Aston Martin drive day at the Millbrook Proving Ground. Just amazing. The venue allowed us to do speed runs, banked high speed testing, skid pan, handling circuit and an amazing alpine route which simulates… alpine roads.

Two McLaren MP12 being tested, and a very rare One-77 at Aston’s workshop. Here’s the fleet:
