Default Driving experience days

Anyone go on one of those driving experience days? They any good?
You know the red letter day type things where you get to go drive a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Aston Martin etc.

I'm racking up air-miles at the moment like they're going out of fashion with work. Was having a look at what I can use them for and they have a few of those red letter day type things. Wondered if it was worth cashing them in for a bash at it

My mate did one the day after I did the trackday in my S2000, he got to drive a Ferrari for 6 laps round 3 sisters in Wigan, that cost 125 sheets, he didn't even get out of second.

Complete rip off IMO, and even more off putting by all the chavs that gather just to catch a glimse of a Ferrari!

I'd do another track day in the S2000 any day.

Use the air miles on a health resort weekend where a fit Swede gives you a massage.
