On the 29th June this year it was my son's School Leaver's Prom (where did those 16 years go?!?
) at The Village Hotel in Farnborough and him and two friends asked me to drive them in my Abarth. It's a tradition that leavers arrive at the prom in some sort of exciting and different transport and this year there was everything from the ubiquitous Rolls Royce and red fire engine to a huge 1920's American 'gangster' car. Parents must have shelled out a fortune
. Here's a pic to give you an idea of the intensity of this event - people and cameras everywhere
Incidentally - Ashley is the guy in the silver suit standing with his not-girlfriend Jo and mate Eric in front of the car.
