Jenson Button in Manchester Today
Hi,
If you didnt know JB was driving today down Deansgate in Manchester taking out Vodafone prize winners in the new McLaren road car ( very very nice ) and then later on in his Formula 1 car - what a beast it was. He did a couple of blasts down the road and loads of donuts - will post some videos up later on. Amazing chance to see and hear a F1 car at very close quarters. Did offer him a drive of the 330d but he refused, something about too much power in the wet ahem............

It was an epic sound...the noise it made when he was doing the donuts, I just cant do it justice in words.
Also when he was blasting down where we were, it was like a war going on, the way the sound bounced all around you. Great spectacle and show for F1 & Jenson

Nice one. Sounds amazing.
I remember years ago a mate of mine was at the Ozzy GP and called me on my mobile. The sound coming through my phone speaker was immense; amazed my phone survived to be honest.
