…it would have to be a Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole edition in silver with a spoiler. Sadly, I am unlikely to ever be so lucky, but working in Canary Wharf does permit me the opportunity to dream of such things a little. Every year around the end of May, Canary Wharf hosts a Motor Expo which as you can imagine makes a lot of sense when half the people who work there are investment bankers that earn well into six figure salaries. For the more humble employees like me its simply a chance to gawp at a selection of the world’s finest sports cars…Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Chevrolet and Maserati to name but a few.
While browsing these fine feats of engineering I was quite amused to be on the receiving end of a sales pitch for a sport car clubs. See www.ecurie25.co.uk. There I was jaw agape and tongue rolled on the floor taking in the site of a black Lamborghini Gallardo while some dapper suited fellow started enquiring about my interest in cars and whether I’d ever driven anything particularly high-end before. He then began telling me how for an £8,000 annual subscription fee I could drive up to twelve different supercars a year over 30-40 days depending on how played it. Intrigued as I was, I couldn’t help dwelling on the irony of it all, little did this fellow know that though I have long been a sports car enthusiast, that I had only passed my driving test in January and was the proud owner of a Peugeot 206.
Well anyway, I took a few pics just in case anyone else wanted to revel in there fantasy car dreams…oh and btw, if you could have any car in the world what would it be?
vw beetle or a mini like mr.bean. i’ve always thought they were quite cool!
