v15ben Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Either as a driver or passenger, no matter where, when, what and how... what was the best car you were lucky enough to be in??? For me it would have to be the Lamborghini Murcielago or Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale both at car club events when there were a group of Ferraris and sports cars driving together... great fun. Other stuff of note would be the De Tomaso Pantera, bright green and LHD - sounded immense too! Ginetta G33, TVR Cerbera, Ferrari 355 Spider and Ferrari 456 GTA So what is the best you have been in and lets hear some great stories about those outrageous car joy moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 A friend's 996 GT2 round Donington. Bloody hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGa Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Urm, either lambourghini gallardo, or Aston Martin DB9 both were stock from elitecarhire and the owner took me for a spin However, the drive in the M5 was by far the most fun, as he used EVERYTHING and he has the "seat-gripping" things on which enhanced the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderson Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 well would have to be a Lamborghini Murciélago on a track day at bruntunthorpe, 80buks for 2 laps of the airfield!!! haha money well spent, the only 1s that come close to that was sitting in a friend of my dads e30 m3 when i was abt 10yrs old, or sitting behind A wheel of a escort cosworth for the first time!

m4ttm4son Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Maybe sitting in a Ferrari F40 when I was a nipper. I think it was a few years after they came out and the owner of the BMW garage near me had his in the showroom. I think "Like a kid in an F40" beats "kid in a candy store" hands down! And a freind of my parents' has a mint '69(ish) Corvette Stingray that he used to drag race. I drool just thinking about it, let alone the few times I've been in it.

Woppum Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 The best car I have ever driven is probably an F430, but the best car I have ever been driven in would be a Maybach. Probably no surprise but true. The best car I have sat in was probably a Pagani, the carrera gt and enzo were no way near as special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
