I will go here this Sunday http://www.special-cars.de/ still cool

But Dan, no idea if you know the people at europanferraritental, but do you have an info about the DVD... time ago I tried to buy it, but there we LOT of troubles with not working online forms and so on.. in the end I began to doubt there was no DVD despite the trailers.. do you actually know somebody that got the DVD.. can I trust them on that?

or you can start working for a good magazine and wait unitl they assign you to test the new ferrari or porsche or whatever...but thats impossible too...

In response to the original thread title.. seeing supercars isnt too hard. Go to a motor show (e.g. geneva in march).

Go to a Grand Prix. There are usually lots of nice cars in the car park.

Go to a dealer.

Go to another motoring event. E.g. in uk; Goodwood festival of speed, Supercar Sunday, supercar run, gumball etc.

Classic driver has an events list:

Join a car club.

Do some track days.

Must visit UK more often then. Actually I am going to visit UK this summer. Surely Iäll try to find some dealers etc.. Perhaps even go to some carshow or trackday... if there should be one during my stay.

[rob_e1]

Post up here when you know what dates you'll be in uk, i'll let you know what's going on.

cheers

Google: ["goodwood festival of speed" supercars]

and "Supercar Sunday"

for lots of pics of previous years.

Goodwood had ALL the current crop of supercars last year - zonda, koenigsegg, enzo, carrera gt, ford gt, gallardo, murcielago, 575 etc. Supercar sunday is worth the trip cos its VERY relaxed. There are as many exibitors as spectators, around 200 supercars last time it ran (2002). Also, you can have rides in whatever you want for a small donation to charity. I'm exibiting the esprit (again) this year.

cheers

thank you again very much for the info. Looks promising and will definately keep an eye on the events. Thanks.

This came across my desk not that long ago. Its not an enzo but still impressive for a track renta car.

The Driver's Edge is testing the waters with a new concept.
The concept will allow TDE participants to have a chance to rent a
sports car during events on a per session basis.
Some of the cars are not readily available in the US and would be
considered as exotics.

Car Rental Per Session
Mini Cooper S $48.00 Available March 6 & 7 TWS
Mitsubishi Evo viii $80.00 Available March 6 & 7 TWS
Porsche Boxster $96.00 Available Soon
Lotus Elise $120.00 In transit Available May
Caterham $120.00 Available Soon
Subaru 22b $120.00 In transit Available May
TVR Tuscan $160.00 Available Soon

In the Future:
Nissan Skyline R34
Renault Clio V6
Lancia Delta Integrale
Radical SR3
Lotus 340r

A "session" is a 20 minute run group. You must sign up for a full event (2 day event, I usually put on about 180 miles on the track) for $275 (a bargain!!) and you would run the exotic on one (or more if you pay more) of your sessions. Insurance is included."

It apparently includes its own insurance.
