Has anyone used a company in Scotland for sportscar hire?
I'm doing the NC500 with a few friends but would find that run pretty dull in my S3..(auto). I'm interested in hiring something.
TIA

There's a company in the Moray area that hires Caterhams... That would be ideal!

You need to buy another 340.

I'll give Caterham lot a call later.

Holy thread drift... I was looking owing at that Atom on MMC site for several minutes thinking it just looks ridiculous but I was unable to ascertain why as I like the look of the atom.... Then it hit me... Windscreen. Looks horrendous.

Yeah the screen is awful! Same with Zenos, looks great naked but fugly with the windscreen.

The proportions look wrong Somehow, front wing too small, rear wing too big and screen looks narrow and high as well. Who would have though that a screen could have such a dramatic effect.

Is the windscreen removable?

Yep, I know a few people who have used them and got nothing but good reports. The mileage surcharge on the hotter cars is pretty beefy though, understandably I guess.

Yup, mileage maybe costly considering I'd be racking up at least 600-750 miles.
Anyway, I got this place back speaking about cars.
You're welcome!

I think any performance car hire place will pump you for doing 600 miles in a weekend. The mileage charges on the lesser caterhams are much cheaper and you might find yourself having just as much fun in a 140bhp than a CSR and at safer speeds...
