Well I had the lucky privilege of driving some truly amazing Supercars on the road all day for about 8 hours, memorable moments where the Lotus Exige for it's cheers feel on the road, and just amazing engine response, and the new McLaren, out of all the cars today, everyone said, hell it's bloody fast, DBS was also an great, with the big V12 up front, but just sounded so good.

What a day.

I work for an Events company, and we have lots of super car clients on are books, I was just lucky to be invited to experience there day out driving super cars on the road, Bespoke where the chaps who arranged the day, and they where fantastic at managing the event, very profession out fit, and to my surprise, very relaxed about letting us drive the cars, it really was hop in, hop out of the cars all day long, they gave us a quick run down on how the cars work, and then it was just get on with driving, and enjoy the experience.

For the money, I know of no other super car day out that last for 8 hours and 150 miles of driving on some fantastic roads, which lets you drive so many great cars in one day.

Fairly sure I saw something similar advertised on here. Sounds good if you get it for a freebie, but I can think of better ways to spend £1000 or whatever the normal cost is.

It was about £800, but after the experience, I would have been more then happy to pay that, it really was once in a life time chance to drive cars like this, and you get to do this all day long, on the road. As for my favourite car to drive, I was torn between the Lotus, and McLaren, in all my days, I have never felt Acceleration like that in a car before, from 40mph to silly speed, it just smashed you into the drivers seat and never stopped accelerating, it really was a WTF moment.

And the Lotus was just a dream to drive, the feedback from that car was extraordinary, it almost felt like a single seater race car, and you felt everything that it was doing on the road, I was surprised just how bloody good it accelerated, it really was a super car in a small package. For the laugh of the day it has to go to the TVR, I was laughing getting in it, and laughing getting out of it, it smelled of petrol, it was boiling hot inside, the clutch felt like an on, off clown peddle, and the gearbox was like trying to arm resell someone, but It was so mush fun the drive, and had a real old school sense about it.
