No the limo in the picture is not on the Gentlemen Drive supercar fleet but Oriol and Daniel (shown in the picture) thought it would be a nice touch to arrange a limo to take us from our hotel to the footie match in Valencia.
They are 2 of 3 brothers who own and operate Gentlemen Drive , a supercar club based in Barcelona with a branch in Madrid and soon to be opened in Miami.
Aside from the supercars, their father also owns a fleet of classic cars that makes the Classic Car Club fleet look pathetic - including a 1930's Bugatti that must be worth over £1m alone, and a car from 1903 which still runs. They even had my favourite classic the Jaguar XK150.
We have been in talks with the guys for some time and to a large degree this mini-rally was a pilot collaboration to test out how well we work together in terms of club ethos and business philosophy; the idea being that if we can build a good working relationship then we could do more shared events, and maybe one day even allow members to use cars from each other's clubs; that is easier said than done since membership qualification criteria, points systems, vehicle groups, and insurance excesses are all different, but let's see where we get to.
