I was a member of The Classic Car Club.

I hired the following, no mileage limits and I did the most in the 360.

Maserati Quattroporte - loved this but it broke down.
Ferrari 360 - Lived this more, exploitable and fun, got engaged in it.
Karmann Ghia - yeah, looks pretty, dog shit to drive above 30mph.
ML500 - changed my mind about SUVs
Q7 3.0 tdi - yeah, but not a diesel one.
Bentley Turbo - so much stupid RWD torque monster fun.
SL 350 - better than expected, great weekend away car.
MK2 Jaguar - hilarious, old, fun but Lucas electrics cut my rental short.
300SL - my second favourite hire, bags of fun, classless, drove like a new car, genuinely quick across country.
Porsche 930 Turbo - Crashed when being given back to the club, I never got a go.

It was great value at the time using a points system, weekend in summer more than midweek or winter etc.

If you want to try a lot of different stuff then it’s great, as a way to drive a car instead of owning one, it’s expensive.

Dave!

Classic car club has closed down and the first page of Autovivendi made me want to shiver!

Currently driving a Dodge Challenger R/T 392 cu Hemi V8 (5.7L in oourpeean): sounds fantastic, but only makes 375hp! I don’t know how the Americans do it!

Hopefully this dry spell will be short lived

392ci is 6.4 litres, Shirley.

Which just makes the bhp/litre even worse

P.P.S - members who renew for a second year get access to a Smart with Hula Hoops crushed into the carpet.

Which flavour? If it's beef or the rare cheese and onion, I could be tempted.

I had a quick chat with him this week so unless I've become a medium, he's very much still with us.
