Classic Car Club - anyone done it?
Discussion
Hi Guys,
I need your help on this one. I am seriously considering joining the club for a year but have a couple of reservations. Hopefully you can provide me with some advice because at present most people I have told say it's a waste of money etc.
Obviosuly being a serious petrolhead most of their concerns goes in one ear and out of the other.
My main concern is that I will be driving cars on public roads, that I haven't driven before and will be quite a lot more powerful than I'm used to such as F308, Masterati 3200GT, 911, Z4 M Coupe, Impreza etc. I am also only 22years old!!
Also I will have to live with these day to day, park them and hope that people on my street respect them or I shall be facing a big bill!!
All I can think of is the driving pleasure however I need to be practical because I'm looking to shell out at least £2k for this experience, since leaving student life only a few months ago.
Would you join the club? Save the £2k and buy a fun car to keep? Or maybe postpone the idea and book a track day or something similar?
Thanks in advance,
I look forward to hearing your opinions as I'm seriosuly struggling here!

its a good idea i did it twice, its a good way to experience the cars while not owning them, I did the london to brighton run in a triumph, had a fezza, porsche, lambo ++ in fact i joined as i liked the lambos really i went on to buy the car from the club. you can spend that on holidays all year but this brings a high all through the year......
