I was googling Guy Salmon for you, and this is what it now redirects to.

Dont see any hire specialist wanting you putting 800 miles on more specialist machinery if you know what I mean, so best to get something with no limit.

Boxster for a couple of days was £376 inc vat pick-up from Edinburgh, but they have other locations. Are other options also but that seemed the best car vs ££.

With the prestige hire cars, do you get what you actually booked, or a similar classed car like regular rentals?

Last time I hired a car (not prestige) I opted for an Alfa Giulietta and got a Pug 3008..

I can just imagine you hiring a Boxter and getting a Chrysler Crossfire Auto or something

Just something I am thinking of.

Sounds like that could be a plan Stu it cost about £50 for insurance for the weekend when i put my mate on my 111r if you are serious let me know i could be up for that. Im a carefull driver honest.

Well Ian, you're certainly a better driver than a passenger if our last outing is anything to go by (greener than a lawn full of cabbages!)

Wonky speedo drive is a surprisingly common Caterham problem, especially on rental cars, usually loose already.

If i remember right i was the only passenger that did not turn back or was sick , was close though great bit of road. I blame Davys heavy braking.

Is there money to be made out of ragtop rentals? ( should copyright the name think)

Early S2000's would look a good bet but guessing insurance would be stoating.

I'm still trying to figure out something interesting to do with a pension I can't touch for anouther 30 years

Couldnt you just buy insurance by the day? I looked into it it with the 205 to work out if it was cheaper for the odd trackday than a years policy or a trailer. Sure it was only £30 a day and there were no real driver details required like with a normal policy. Just cant remember which site I found it on.
