Fancy driving a Ferrari F430 for a day for £100? Or perhaps a Lamborghini Gallardo for the weekend?

Supercar clubs give motorists the thrills of a supercar – without the cost of ownership. We reveal how they work and how to join.

What is a supercar club?

We like free stuff.

We’re also quite fond of cars too. So a free motor show displaying eye-wateringly hot supercars in one of central London’s most famous locations is, if you’ll excuse the pun, right up our street.

Next week sees the return of the Motorexpo – London’s free motor show held in Canary Wharf.

The show is aimed at a business audience too busy to attend real shows, and offers punters the opportunity to stick a hefty bonus payment down on a model which takes their fancy.

For mere mortals, it is the chance to gawp at some of the world’s hottest and most exclusive machinery.

We’re not exactly sure Canary Wharf is the ideal place for a load of super-expensive supercars to turn up, what with Captain Credit Crunch and his spandex pants tightening the nuts on the economy.

But whatever – we can’t wait to see all this hot metal in the flesh. And for free!

We’ll be dodging distressed bankers on Monday and reporting live from Canary Wharf to bring you all the hot news.

The Honda Accord is the UK’s most reliable motor.

The trusty Japanese saloon – which takes aim at the BMW 3 Series – tops the Reliability Index using data available to insurance company Warranty Direct.

And – surprise surprise – the Japanese manufacturers dominated the top ten, with the Mazda MX-5Subaru Forester and Nissan Micra among the most reliable motors in the country.

Others included the out-of-production Mitsubishi Carisma and Nissan Almera, while the Honda Civic and Toyota Yaris both scored well in the index.

And the Jaguar X-Type is a very respectable 13th place in the top 100 cars.

Has your car broken down recently? And do you own any of the top ten most reliable cars in the UK?
