i'd have the Lambo every time, altho the Jag was very impressive

the 458 was good, but too many buttons for me!

There was a muscle car package as well, that group was well behind us, you can see the Challenger at the fuel pumps with us

Looks great fun, but is 30/50 miles enough or does it go too quickly?

So £290 then roughly. Seems a lot better value (if you'd call it that) and sounds a lot more enjoyable compared to the super car experiences in the UK!?

Sounds great I'd definitely go for the muscle car option if I were to do it. I've driven West to East (more or less) in a generic Toyota SUV. It was great seeing the country but fairly boring from the car perspective.

Mind, I wasn't driving (didn't have my license at the time), so I got to see a lot more.

Did you have to also sign an indemnity clause and lay down a 'damages' deposit -- returnable to you upon....... coming back alive? LOL
