Exotic car hire

[miniandy]

Hi all,

I want to spend some of my redundancy on hiring an exotic for a day - something like an AMV8/997/Gallardo/TVR but I'm finding it difficult to find anywhere that will let me have one! I'm 23. Can anyone offer a suggestion? RIO's minimum age is 25 unfortunately.

Cheers

Andy, Hey you're only 23. And you're redundant? Sorry mate. But, you don't want to be frittering away your poke on a one off experience yet. For what it would cost you to hire one of your dream cars, go and buy something with a wee bit of character.

The worlds ye'r oyster at that kind of level. Never mind about impressing your mates with a one off exotic hire. Get yourself into something cheap, cheerful and fun.

Exotica's a bit like fabulous sex. Great at the time but the memory never matches the reality.

Yeah man, job went to India! I kid you not. I'm not interested in impressing anyone, I just wanted to drive something exotic! As for cheap, cheerful and fun, I have a Mini for that!

Andy - I think you will struggle to find a car to hire. Our insurance specifically excludes the unemployed! And 23 year olds.

If someone is willing to hire you a car, then make sure their insurance is kosher.

You are more than welcome to pop in to Rio for a sniff around. We have something new and very exciting arriving in April!

I'm not on the dole yet! We were just told of our package, and with a bit of luck I'll be able to move in to a new role when this one finishes.

I had a feeling my age would go against me though. Thanks for the invite - I'll pop along and take a look. Only 18 months to wait until I can hire one of your cars!
