Can't believe the Aston Martin is a british car! Move over bond it's my turn to drive

Good evening BuyaGift, My experience at Prestwold Hall, Aston Martin Thrill was a fantastic day, not only to experience the DB9 but to also grab an insight into a handful of other suppercars that were on site! Amazing. Kindest regards, Sarah Mills

I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present than this Aston Martin Thrill driving day. I've actually been looking at the experience days on offer at buyagift for a while and thinking about booking one, so imagine how pleased I was that my wife picked up on the hint and sent me for the supercar drive of a lifetime. The Aston Martin is by far the coolest car ever made in Britain, handles like a dream around the race track. The best day out I've ever had.

Kay Jones and Kevin Copestake,

The Aston Martin experience really was...well a fantastic experience. I have never done anything like this before and the most powerful vehicle I have ever driven is my Fiesta 1.25 so I was both excited and nervous at the same time, however with all the staff and instructors being so friendly and helpful I soon felt at ease. We were taken around the track as passengers whilst the driver explained the layout of the track and the best line to follow, there are cones on the corners, one you aim for when entering the corner and one when exiting the corner and there are boards up telling you when to brake so you haven't got to worry about the line you follow because it's all set up for you. When I got in the DB9 the instructor adjusted my seat for me and explained the gears and I then got on my way and it was amazing, both me and my boyfriend loved it. After the drive we went to purchase photos, and they take a lot so there is plenty to choose from, there is also the option to have a video which has a camera pointing out in the windscreen, a camera pointing in to catch your reactions and then there is a speedometer to obviously show you what speed you are going at. We had both our families there and it was a good day out for all, we are planning on making it an annual family outing, it was that good. I highly recommend this to anyone whether you are into cars or not, it's a fantastic day out!

I honestly don't think you could improve what you do. I have recently ordered two Aston Martin Driving Thrill's (one on behalf of a friend) and have been very impressed by how quick they were recieved. They will soon be given to the people they were intended for and we can't wait to see them enjoying their gift!

Michael Harper, UK

My Aston Martin Thrill was an awesome adrenaline rush since i was there and all day after. The people there were really friendly and the driving instructor was a good laugh. The track I went to was superb with a good straight to pick up my top speed. I had a mint day!!!! Thanks very much.

I received the voucher as a gift from my girlfriend for my birthday. Not really knowing what to expect I arrived at the airfield to be greeted by the site of an awesome array of supercars. Audi R8s, various Ferraris, Aston Martins and Porches all sat there and going round the track. It was great to not only have a go in my dream car- the Aston Martin V8 Vantage- but also get up close to so many other amazing cars. We arrived early. Listening to the noise and watching the cars go round the track was brilliant. Even my dad who came with me enjoyed himself, and he didn’t even have a go in any of the cars. As for the driving experience– well truly amazing! The staff were very professional but really push you to get the most out of the cars. If you’re worried this will be a thrill-free experience then think again. My only complaint is it was all over too quickly, I could have been there all day trying to get better and better. It has really made me want an Aston even more now. I have to say, probably the best present I’ve ever had.

You asked for my opinion of the Aston Martin Thrill which I attended in Elvington near York. I can honestly say that the event itself was very well organised. I was not waiting around for hours on end. The co-driver was very pleasant and the car driving itself was amazing! Unfortunately, I did not get any decent photos of the experience, however, I'm sure the memory will last me a lifetime! Since going on that experience, numerous work colleagues have asked/enquired about similar experiences via yourselves for their husbands/boyfriends especially! I would definitely do the experience again given the opportunity!

I was given the Aston Martin Experience as a surprise 40th birthday present this year and spent a fantastic day at the 3 Sisters Racing Circuit. I had the most amazing time and every little detail- from the pre-drive workshop and familiarisation laps through to the drive itself- was really well organised and professionally run. The cars were all really well presented but the Aston was just stunning and I would've been happy just sitting in it, never mind taking it round the track. The instructors were brilliant and really encouraged you to get the most out of the car and enjoy the experience. I definitely wouldn't have got as much out of it if I'd been in the car alone. My friend equally enjoyed the day, particularly when I returned the surprise and arranged for them to be taken round the track in a Lotus by one of the professional drivers at speed! This was a day to remember and a dream fulfilled and I'd love to do it again. You don't have to be a petrol head to enjoy this and it's definitely not just for boys!

Just wanted to say that the person I bought the Aston Martin experience for really enjoyed his day. The event was well organised and most enjoyable.
