Hi Everyone,

Any idea what manufacturers are offering 48hr test drives at the moment?

The reason I ask, is because I'm taking the mrs to the Ritz for afternoon tea in a few weeks time and I don't know what the valet parking guy will think if my lowered 100hp Panda - I don't think it's befitting of their image!

The other question is; do these cars come covered in stickers saying that they're available from 50pence a month or whatever? If they do, I might as well hire something smart.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

This will not go well...

Nah don't think its a troll punctuation too good and post is well paragraphed, genuine question i reckon still only time will tell.
Op if your taking the OH to the ritz surely you could cough up for a decent hire car for the day?.

Bentley have a 72 hour deal at the moment. Just put 12.5k down, and they will lend you the car for 3 days. There are mileage limitations, though.

Yes, I smell troll. The OP knows these don't end well, it's too good an opening post.

[Parabola]

Nothing wrong with a 100HP Panda, just make sure it's cleaned and tidy.

I don't know what a troll is; assume it's some sort of naughty forum person? I'm not one of them anyway, this is a genuine post (thanks for noting my good punctuation and grammar lol).

I don't have 12k to put down for a bentley, although it sounds very tempting - any other ideas?

I'm guessing from the 1990 in the username is op's year of birth, doubt they'll give him a bentley , perhaps he knows someone with a chrysler 300c .

Cheeky! I'm 21, so assume I meet the insurance criteria for most test drives. Although, Bentley is definately too ambitious!

Nah, it's all a ruse. It's a regular poster having a laugh. I'd bet it's the creator of the S Line Luxury profile.

If you are for real, I would run now.

People on this forum get really pissed of about people taking advantage of dealers test drives just so they can drive a decent car for a day. It has meant dealers almost never do long test drives any more.

We have had 24 hour test drives before, but only because my family have owned about 7 discoverys and a range rover and most of them were bought and serviced at the same dealer.

Exactly who are you trying to impress here?

Ooops, I didn't realise! People should calm down a bit though...can't run virtually, can I? How is a new member supposed to know that this sort of post goes against the grain?

Why would you need to be a member of this forum to think what you are proposing is not simply wasting someone's time / taking the absolute piss?

And for what? To impress some fking valet who couldn't give a toss about you or your car?


Stick around...

This has already been done!
