Mine was that age and cycling in the road but…. I told him when to stop and go, we talked about where he should be when in the car leading up to it, I talked through everything I was looking at when cycling and it was dry on a relatively low traffic area.

Re: Salon Prive

I enjoyed myself immensely. My partner enjoyed it less so! She’s pointed out that between Goodwood, Royal Artillery in London and now this, we’ve done quite a few “car events”..

There's no option for 'If I was that rich I'd have a GT3T, GT3RS and a 718 Cayman 4.0 to fetch the milk' You loose. Bugger! We went to the Cotswolds for a long weekend in our GTS 4.0, and I just realised we forgot the milk. :oops: We based our weekend around 'Supercar Saturday' and 'Classic Sunday'...
