Henny 0 Posted November 11, 2003 I'm pondering going on a supercar type day some time next year with a mate from work, such is my thirst to drive some of these cars.. Has any body been on any / could they reccomend any in particular? Oooh, oooh, oooh, I forgot! :roll: I went on a tank driving and 4x4 course for my 21st with my Dad (50th) and sister (30th)... Anyone know what the new price is on a flipping great tank?!? Gotta be in the high £100,000s hasn't it?!? Jim, have a look for RedLetter days, they do some really good stuff, and if the tank/4x4 day I had was anything to go by, it was really well organised and a huge laugh as well as a great experience... 8) :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted November 11, 2003 I have only sat in and reved a Ferrari 360 modena!!! But I was pissed out side a casino so it was pritty exciting at the time to say the least. It would probably ruin me if I drove something like that around for a day, it would be really hard to go back to my own car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted November 11, 2003 A £40,000 Lamborghini off roader........ My age at time=14 Think about it.......hehe :lol: A kid at a local school had a bet with his mates that his dad would let him bring his new Lambo to school on his 16th birthday with him driving... He got the p!$$ taken out of him for a few days until his birthday when, sure enough, he turns up driving a brand new Lamborghini as promised! :wink: :lol: Funnily enough it was an "off roader" too and the other kids all shut up for a while... :lol: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt GTi 0 Posted November 12, 2003 I'm pondering going on a supercar type day some time next year with a mate from work, such is my thirst to drive some of these cars.. Has any body been on any / could they reccomend any in particular? I went on one earlier in the year with work, (christmas bonus), at Palmer Sport, you don't drive ferraris and the like, but you do drive rally spec Evo 6, catheram 7 superlight, vx220 turbo, palmer jaguar JP1 racing car, stripped out racing clio, and a formula palmer audi single seater. The stripped out clio is absolutely awesome, and the guy that took me around the track, is the current clio cup world champion. I've also done a red letter days one as well, and can vouch for how good that is. I went on the classic cars one, and drove a DB6, jag E Type, jag D type, and a few others. I was also taken out by an instuctor in an AC Cobra. I would love to own one of them someday, what a car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
