Hi,

Do you know anywhere that have some AMGs to trial.

Mercedes World have some but they are expensive.

All I can find is Lambos, Astons of Ferraris.

I would like to drive a C63 Coupe.

I was going to say Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands, but you're already aware of them.

Ok, this website is a pretty good directory of what's available in the UK. Here's a link to a search for Mercedes experiences:

With a view to buying one? Local dealer?

The driving experiences at Mercedes World may be expensive, but they are well worth it.

Mercedes World are about £180ph!!

You can get a other experiences for about £80.

Not with a view to buying, so I can't got to a dealer lol.

I just want to spin one about on a track.

Mercedes World I'm afraid is the answer. I've done the 1 hour AMG twice now and before you write it off as too expensive....

Off Peak is £135, whilst anytime is £180. For that you do actually get a full hour in the car and it is worth it.

The Lambos/Astons/Ferrari experiences can be got for £99 but for that all you'll be getting is 20 mins in the car max doing 3-4 laps. Just when you're getting usee to the car it's all over.

Is that not what a test drive is as well?

The model is so specific that it could have been the case.

If you get a full hour blasting on a track for £180 then I'd say that was pretty good value. I'd doubt you'd find anything remotely similar for that money. On your average 'experience' day the actual time spent on the track is minimal

What cars to you get to drive?

I wanted to drive the C63 coupe?

Ideally I would like to buy one. But when the prices come down a bit. So probably in about two years time.

Which AMG did you get to drive? Was it the same one on both occasions?

First time I went I drove the previous C class. In March I drove the CLS.

I believe you can request a C63 but there may be an extra charge. Call them and ask.
