Just wondering if anyone here is a member and if so what their experience has been (getting insurance cover, actually doing the events etc)?

I've joined up as a member but not yet done any events. I feel I've been very fortunate to be able to buy an Aston Martin so like the idea of being able to do charity "dream rides" etc and share the experience for good causes etc

But I'm just a touch nervous about actually doing an event - I'm no Aryton Senna so wouldn't want to disappoint someone when I don't do 4 wheel drifts around roundabouts

Anyone got any experience of these things ?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob,

I joined about 20 years ago when I had my Countach. An absolutely amazing charity although I now get involved with Wishes for Kids which does fantastic work too. Sadly with 3 young kids I don't get a lot of spare time these days frown so rarely attend.

We used to do Dream Rides at the NEC every year and raised a fortune over 3 days, cant remember which show it was back then.

I'm not bothered about mileage so I was out pretty much all day. If your car is the star attraction be prepared for the same.

Get involved.

Nick

Thanks Nick

Can I ask - was your insurance company fine with it?

Cheers

You got me quite excited Rob,but I then realised I'd misread your enquiry.
I had thought you were enquiring about Sporting Bares.....but as that's a nudist swingers club it appears from previous posts that it's not the one.
However it's very good that you wish to give something back to a worthwhile charity.
I'm rather surprised to see Nick's comments as he's rarely sober enough to drive anything,maybe he drives on his vast estate.

Hi Rob,

Just let them know. As its not for "reward" everything should be fine.

I'm assuming its all on the public highway?

yes, think its almost all public roads from what I can see. I'll mention it to Locktons when the new roadster arrives, fingers crossed!
