I took this pic of my V70 under the Top Gear Jumbo at The Childrens Trust Super Car event at the weekend. A brilliant event with around 170 Super Cars of all makes taking passengers round the circuit for two days. Its held every year. If anyone is interested I can post some links to some of the photos I took.

It's a great venue, I took an atom and a 430 gts around the track last year - great fun.

Well done. Its brilliant. I've been a volunteer driver for the trust for over ten years and help with the set up every year. I hope to have something fast enough soon to drive it myself though I have driven the Trusts old Toyota van round most of it.

Tbh, saying you've driven the top gear track is ultimate pub ammo in most situations lol.

We drove the track backwards as it's faster and less technical (for the novice of course) so no times were given but the instructor gave me 38/40 so not too bad ;)
I wouldn't recommend the atom tho. Heavy clutch, heavy steering, heavy brakes and most of all, for the "larger gentleman" effing snug!
430 gts was a fantastic drivers car however.
