    My V70 at the Top Gear Track, Dunsfold, Surrey

    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.

    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.
