There's been a motoexpo at canary wharf this week so went down this afternoon to take a look around. Saw some nice cars, Alfa 8C is beautiful, R8 is nice, also got invited to have a look at the new M3 that they had tucked away in it's own little building, apparently the only one in the country. Odd thing is the launch colour is white, apparently it's to show off the carbon fibre roof and wing mirror surrounds, looks very nice.
Anyway, im amongst all this were some car clubs such as ecurie25 and clubgt. Basically you pay a yearly fee ranging from 2k to 14k depending on which club (quality of cars varies) and you get a certain amount of points to spend with nicer cars and weekends costing more. Lower end of the spectrum is Caterhams and exige's, top end is Murcielagos and F430's etc.. The best one seems to be ecurie, you pay 10k and get 600 points which covers you for roughly 40 days motoring a year (you can see how to spend it on their site). For someone that lives in London and potentially could afford a decent car but can't justfiy it this seems like a good solution. I go away fairly often and would love to ponce around in a Gallardo or 911 turbo, what are peoples thoughts on this? Worthwhile or not?
