I might have a chance if an Omega counts as a supercar? Also drove a Citroen Xantia today too. ;D ;D ;D

if I wanted to drive a VW, I'd be driving a Skoda like all the other ~~sheep~~cabbies round here :D

Seriously though, you would get to meet all sorts of weird and wonderful people. My old neighbour does this. It's cheaper to drive someone back from Italy in their own car than it is to fly them and get the car transported back. typical scenario would be:

a couple drive to their villa on Lake Como, he being the only driver. The day before they're due to drive home, whilst out for a stroll, he trips breaking his right ankle and left wrist.
This type of firm fly a suitable driver out to Italy to bring the car and its owners back to the UK. :y

Apparently very varied work. 8-)
