Nice photos Bozwell
You do have one cool job I must say

I've had the pleasure of going out for a ride in a D-Type and I have to say it was a full assault on all the senses. The driver blasted through a tunnel and I thought my head was going to explode That coupled with the sheer power just blew me away.

It's funny you mention the drivability on the road, as I was taken out on the public highway and at no point did I feel the car wasn't suited to just driving about in traffic. Amazing.

I got to drive a D Type replica as part of a track day experience and it blew me away! It was at Mallory Park and a top day out! The D Type was a fantastic experience, and was the culmination of the day in which I also drove Mk 2 and E Type Jags and an Aston DB6 Vantage.

I also purchaced extra D Type laps and a also a Chauffered few laps to see what it could really do!

I have put this link up if anyones interested.
