Last year as a birthday present I was given one of those track day experiences which included driving a £300k Lamborghini which was brilliant,it was an airfield circuit and was encouraged to drive pretty fast.Paddle shifts auto clutch etc,great.
But how much "fun" would it be to drive on the road,I don't know.
Driving a good Seven smoothly on most roads would give as much driver satisfaction I think,or am I mad ?
No, not mad. I wholeheartedly agree, here in Australia speed limits are strictly enforced so I have sold the Lotus and the Golf GTI and drive a Panda instead and for fun the Austin.
Cheers
