This is not about a proper chrimbo though!

Tomorrow we are taking DS to drive a Lamborghini Gallado! He has NOOOOO idea whatsoever!

He will get coaching. Two laps as a passenger then a chance do do a little bit of driving!!!

He is nearly 12. On the way home we are going to Alton Towers

hahahahahahah . His head will explode.

Sooooo can't wait even though it means leaving the house at 6am

I haven't told another soul in case they told him - but I had to tell someone!!!

Sounds brilliant. I love the anticipation of things like this, even better than a treat for yourself. Enjoy your day!

FunkyBarnYard · 19/02/2014 18:38

Ah phew I response. He genuinely thinks we have no plans and has asked of we would consider taking him go karting

Isn't it one of the best things about being a parent, knowing something is coming they'll love.

If your ds decides it's not for him and he would like a nice quiet day at home, I'm available all day

Have fun it sound awesome

travellingwilbury · 19/02/2014 19:04

That sounds amazing , he will burst .

HumphreyCobbler · 19/02/2014 19:08

I am v envious!
what a lovely surprise for him

It is something i never expected before i had dc, how genuinely exciting it is when you plan something that gives them pleasure

FunkyBarnYard · 19/02/2014 19:11

I am dreading the early start. He will question where we are going once we pass Alton towers. He certainly won't expect Alton on the way home from driving a super car!

I have the camera charged. Snacks and drinks packed.

Oh how fabulous!! Have a fantastic day and please come back and tell us about it! He will be thrilled, I wish I could see his face when he realises

curiousgeorgie · 19/02/2014 19:14

He's allowed to drive at 12?

That's crazy. When we looked for one for my brothers 18th he couldn't do it because he hasn't passed his test yet...

Can you post a link?

Hoolit · 19/02/2014 19:17

Oh wow what a lovely surprise for him. I got my ds just turned 13 a Ferrari one for Elvington but we've not booked it yet, just gave him the voucher at xmas.
I hear there are fab cars to book on the day at a small extra cost ie £20 to have a go in that are meant to be brilliant, maybe you could have a go?

FunkyBarnYard · 19/02/2014 19:19

This isn't the site DP booked with but a quick google says it's the same price and package www.experiencemad.co.uk/Activities-for-Juniors/junior-supercar-driving-7114/

My brother did this for his birthday. Then they let his 4 year old son have a go! My ds' were sooooo when they heard and saw the pics. Well done op, your ds will absolutely love the day and you've given me lots of ideas for my ds birthday so thank you

yorkshirepuddings · 20/02/2014 08:02

I got the same present for my DS. Still have to book a date. He is 12 and had no idea he could drive a supercar. Was so excited when he opened the voucher.
