Prompted by Martins expedited Range Rover purchase, I realised I’ve never actually been in a full fat Range Rover (sat in one at a showroom, never been in one on the move). Given I know quite a few people with them it’s a bit of an omission.
So what car have you never ridden/driven in that you might reasonably expect to have crossed paths with?

No, I've never been in one either. I rarely go in other cars unless they are either taxis, minicabs, executive airport cars, or rentals.
The only Porsche I've ever driven was a 996 and I've not been a passenger in any either.

I've never driven a modern Mini. Been in, driven and tuned plenty of the old BL ones. I also don't believe I have ever been in a moving Boxster.

I have never been in a current model Range Rover, but have experienced the current RRS and earlier full fat RRs.
Never even sat in a Boxter. Not driven any BMW more recent than about 2010. More shocking is that I have never driven a 1930s Alvis or Bentley.

Having been back through, I’ve driven at least one example from most marques, but among the more well-known marques, I've never driven any form of Abarth, Bentley, Caterham, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Rolls-Royce, Skoda or Subaru, nor an original Mini.
Don't think I've ever so much as set foot in a Bentley.

The last Range Rover I was in as a passenger as a mid 70s 3 door. I have driven a RRS a couple of years ago on the LR Experience.

I don't think I've ever been in a sporty Ford apart from a test drive in a Mustang 4 years ago.
The last Porsche I was in was a 911 Turbo 30 years ago. I nearly had a go in a 996 (? it was a 55 plate) but it had the major engine problem they can suffer from before I could get my hands on the keys.
Not been in a recent Range Rover of any description either.

I'm not sure they are in the reasonably expected to have crossed paths category, but I've not driven a Ferrari or Lamborghini. I'd not driven a Range Rover before Saturday, only Discovery 1/2/3. Looking at Racings list, I've not driven an Abarth, Kia or Mitsubishi, but don't feel like I'm missing out all that much. I've not driven a Rolls Royce either, but I have been in the back of one a couple of times which is where you should be in a Phantom.

I've sat in pretty much everything on the market as I still enjoy a motorshow. So I'll list what I haven't sat in whilst moving
Aston
Hyundai - I really can't think of one I've been in even as a taxi
Jeep of any kind
Lambo
Maserati
Or a Smart

So what car have you never ridden/driven in that you might reasonably expect to have crossed paths with? I'm not sure that I might reasonably have expected to cross paths with any car, TBH, and in any event there is very little on sale in the UK that really appeals to me |

In keeping with the reasons for this thread I've never been in or driven a Velar, I think it's the only Range Rover I haven't experienced. I've never driven a mk1 Focus but I think I have been in one. I've never been in a Dacia. One of my friends works for a specialist cars dealer and so I've experiences a lot of exotic stuff via him.

There are lots of cars I've never been in but I'm struggling with the "might reasonably expect to have crossed paths with" aspect. Given how many Aston Martin owners I know via the RAC I suppose a DB4/5/6 would be the one I'd think of, although I have leaned into the original Goldfinger one when it was first displayed at the club before going to Auction. Don't think I've ever stepped foot in an E-type either.

Don’t remember ever being in a Jaguar of any sort, or a Range Rover.
I was in my first Porsche last year- a Cayenne so not as exciting.
Never driven a Mercedes, or an Alfa.
I’ve driven most engine sizes though, 3,4,5,6,8,10- don’t think I’ve driven a 12 yet. Might get to drive a Lamborghini one day and do both at the same time.
Also, considering I’ve been in the USA for 7 years now, I’ve not been in a Camaro or a Corvette.
My boss has a C7 Corvette so I’ll have to fix that one.

Given what I do there's not many cars I've not experienced, but surprisingly, especially since I've worked for the company, I've not been in a Mustang.
Nor a Porsche Cayman for that matter (although Boxster I have done).
