406V6 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The “I'll tell you what I fancy a drive in..” thread has been good fun. It reminded me about a few true classics and made me think about the few cars that I’d really like to drive. Among the members of this forum we’ve got representatives of about just about every old car and some moderns that we don’t talk about. Probably no McLaren F1’s but a few Citroen DS’s. That gives huge scope for a “swap” thread, location and insurance permitted. You can have a go in mine if I can have a go in yours. Would any MG Metro or Citroen DS owner like to swap a ride in a BMW i3 ? Skizzer, skattrd and bangernomics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 My fleet is available for a test run in the better weather, with the probable exclusion of the Cobra I noticed a few on there wanted to try a pre-war car and I have a few of those (subject to them working at the time of course) Floatylight, bangernomics, Tickman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 A couple of Shiters have already had a crack at Huggy, and some have been passengers. He's a lot of fun on Lake District roads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 One of the enticements to visiting our field of Dreams days is there are often cars to try. By request you can choose many of our cars in the spring, as long as you have at least third party insurance. If what you want is broken then come and help me fix it first! eddyramrod, Skizzer, Mrs6C and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 A few hardy shiters have ventured to south Wales and had a go of whatever was running at the time on the Skizzer fleet. I don’t have a DS or MG Metro (good choices btw) but a back to back test of an i3 and a V12 Jag would be fun. Springtime is best, as 6C says.

Skizzer Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 There’s been talk before of doing some kind of organised rent-a-tat or swapping scheme but it’s all too complicated and serious and has too much potential for falling out so it goes away again. It works fine at the various loosely organised meet-ups and on a ‘fancy a weekend swap / meet for coffee’ PM basis I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I'm only five minutes or so from 15a of the M1. If anyone wants a 20 minute blast around local roads in Mason II they are more than welcome, with sufficient notice. I don't even need the favour reciprocated, although if you have either a large powerful barge, wonderful base spec rep mobile or an EV I'd probably be keen for a go. bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny69 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 At the old RRG venues I used to leave the keys in whatever I’d come up in and folks were free to just take it for a spin round the campsite. Word of mouth and everyone knew who’s car it was because the scene was quite small even if they didn’t know me personally, so the car was safe enough. That year I had the hotrod at Prescott I managed to rack up a £120 fuel bill, most of which was burned through in the campsite skattrd and Saabnut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Cheap jeep is potentially available for test drives for people who want to sample Yankee jeep waftyness and body roll. That's currently the only thing working and legal here I can imagine anyone wanting a shot in. I'll have to pop down to a field of dreams meet or something if people want a shot … or maybe organise a Lincs meet @ruffgeezer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
