Nice cars you've been in/driven
Discussion
Nana-spec Corollas etc not eligable. 
Just got the idea after having a ride in a 1970's Porsche Carerra today.
Anyway, here's my slightly embarrassing list. Always looking to add to it of course.
DRIVEN
1986 Mazda RX-7 Turbo coupe (Series 4) [red] - My youngest brothers' one
199x Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (manual) [gunmetal] - Used as our wedding car
199x Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (manual) [maroon]
199x Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R (manual) [white] - Fastest car i've ever driven/been in? Got taken up to 280km/h before i drove it!
1996 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IV GSR (manual) [red]
200x Ferrari 360 Modena (f1 paddle shift) [black]
200x Lamborghini Gallardo (manual) [black]
PASSENGER ONLY
199x Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R (manual) [350Z blue]
198x Chevrolet Corvette (auto) [black]
197x Porsche 911 Carerra (RS lookalike - road legal now, but used to race in the Bridgestone Porsche championship)
2010? Ferrari 599 GTO (automanualbothneither?) [red] - Only one in NZ apparently.
2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster (auto) [red]
SAT IN
2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (he also owns three Ferraris and a Ford Model T or Model A)
Hoping to add a couple of Lotus Esprits to the list at some stage.
Right, now its time for you all to put my list to shame.

I suppose i should update this.
Got a ride (a small one albeit, due to time constraints) in NZ's only Ferrari 599 GTO yesterday.
He half booted it in first gear a couple of times and it got rather squirmy.
1970's Porsche last week, 2010? Ferrari this week, wonder what next week will be - an F15 Eagle fighter jet? Can't wait!
Both cars were getting photos taken for seperate newspapers for my charity cruise event i'm not allowed to mention on PistonHeads incase i get 'told off'.

Maybe.
Well the wife surprised me with a two week holiday on the Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise) and on my 30th birthday (1st March) i got to do a 'supercar' drive, about 20-30 mins in each car on rural and city Aussie roads.
Cars involved were a blue TVR Tuscan, black F1 Ferrari 360 Modena and black manual Lamborghini Gallardo.
Unfortunately it was raining quite a bit, including torrential rain sometimes - so bad at one point that we had to pull over as couldn't see the road! And the guy running the drive, (who was in the TVR Tuscan which i didn't get to drive as woulda cost more money) had to keep wiping the condensation off his windows so he could see where he was going (no air con in the TVR), and on the way back he had to fix the drivers side wiper on the Ferrari since it stopped working. But, it was an awesome day otherwise and i won't forget it anytime soon.
Do have photos and videos which i'll try get online in the next decade or so.
Want a Gallardo even more now, thanks wifey.
