I've been lucky enough to be turned loose in different Porsche 911 Turbo AWD's a few times as well as some AMG Mercedes and a Cobra Replica from Superformance with a Rousch built 351...those days are pretty much non existant for me anymore though.
The guys that used to let me take their stuff out and also test samples that they were thinking about buying have since retired...boo hoo !!
I've got a fun car in the garage too but it's not as much fun when it's your own car that you're tearing up.
It would be a blast to take this little Ariel Atom out and toss it around I'm sure.
