CAR lovers experienced the ride of their lives in the name of charity this weekend.

Supercars ranging from Ferraris to Aston Martins and Lamborghinis were on show at the Jenny Wren pub in Susworth on Saturday.

Car lovers were able to take a ride as a passenger in the deluxe models for £10 as part of the event, which was raising money for Lincolnshire Air Ambulance.

Event organiser Justin Kenyon said: "This is the fourth year we've run the event and it gives people the chance to have a ride in some fantastic cars and give something to charity at the same time.

"This is the first year it hasn't rained, which is an added bonus, and the turnout has been fantastic.

"We've got a wide range of cars from Ferraris and Porsches to older models, such as the Aston Martins.

"The passengers get around half an hour in the cars and the roads round here are great for driving on – really quiet and scenic."

Supercar owners from across the region donated their motors for the day to help the event.

Ferrari 360 Spider owner Tony Shepherd, 48, of Scotter, said: "I knew Justin originally from going to Le Mans and it's an excellent local event to get involved in.

"I've been driving people around and you do get some mixed reactions.

"Some people are quite nervous, whereas others love it when they hear the roar of the engine, but everyone enjoys it in the end. There are some great driving roads around here, which adds to the enjoyment, and it also gives the people a chance just to have a look under the bonnet of some of the cars."

Car enthusiast Alan Relton, 67, travelled down from Teeside for the event and was impressed with some of the cars on display.

He said: "I'll be taking a ride in the Ferrari 360 later, but it is good just to be able to have a wander and have a good look at some of the cars.

"It's a great event. For a relatively small amount of money, people can have a ride in some fantastic cars."

In previous years, the event has raised money for local charities including Lindsey Lodge Hospice and Light Up A Life.

Maria Kenyon, landlady of the Jenny Wren Inn, said she was delighted with the turnout at the event, ensuring a healthy donation to this year's beneficiaries Lincolnshire Air Ambulance.

She said: "The event keeps getting more popular each year and we're delighted to host it. We already do monthly car events and that has really helped raise awareness and we've got a lot of car enthusiasts here today.

"But it's important to get a good mix and there are a lot of people having their first ride in a supercar and it's just good to see so many people enjoying themselves in aid of a very worthy cause."
