Cheaper Ecurie for Jap Cars?
Discussion
Folks,
I currently have an turbo'd MX5 and am thinking about changing it for an MR2 turbo: not because there's anything wrong with my MX - I just fancy something else!, but I can't bring myself to part with my mx:-)
Mrs phatmanace would divorce me if I bought a third car, so it got me thinking... it's a shame that there isn't a P1/ecurie for cheaper cars!
I would really like to be able to hire an MR2 turbo, or an (older) skyline, or a FQ350 for a week and have a blast around.
I was wondering whether people think that there is a market providing this kind of thing... or if i'm the only one!
I'd probably be up for paying 2 or 3 thousand a year to have the use of some cars like this - I'm not sure I could stretch to the 7 or 8 that ecurie charge [coupled with their higher insurance excesses!]

There is one club (can't remember the name) that has a pool of cars and you keep each one for 3 months then swap. All fairly new cars - basically rather than owning a car you subscribe to the club and get to change regularly...
Seems a half-decent idea to me and there were a few Jap motors in teh collection.
