Im happy to loan out the elise, but sadly cannot lend the diablo - modifications mean no chance

Personally I wouldn't be bothered about the things that have concnerned others on here - though I would make a definite 'personal judgement' with regards whoever was considerng borrowing it. I see no reason why you SHOULD knacker exotica any more than anything else (in fact you're likely to be so careful with someone elses toy that damage would be LESS likely)....unless the person is a total tool - and I hope I'd have spotted that before lending it!


Nightmare, you don't live up to your name. Absolute gent
However, a downside. The elise I think would prove a little tight for me, standing at 6'4 and 220lbs odd. Unless I can be proven wrong ???

I'm similar size and i drove a VX220 without a problem. Quite comfortable actually. I've got a long torso and 32in inside leg though. If you've got very long legs for your height you may struggle.

I reckon you'd fit in the elise at that height - make sure you borrow it during summer so you can have the roof off....obviously easier to use and feels much roomier!

Hi Nightmare,

I'm looking for a diablo to get on the rollers for some publicity shots for my website, there would be a free session in it for the owner. Would you be interested, or do you know a Diablo owner who might be?

Many Thanks,

Charlie.

www.bespokes.com Have some nice stuff. The Ferrari's and Lambo will probably demand 30+ but you may be able to "come to an arrangement" - everything has a price after all.
Come to think of it, you can hire my NSX for £1000 a day

All Self Drive Hire insurance policies have a minimum driving age of 25. With Ferrari & Lambos being a min of 30. No movement.

I was in the Self Drive Hire game for a couple of years, but the insurance was too expensive and inflexible to be worthwhile.

I understand you can insure a Ferrari / Lambo via said company, but it will cost extra to cover under 30's

I used bespokes a few years ago as a 25th birthday treat (Ferrari) to myself.

25 was the minimum age at the time, it is a shame if it has been raised to 30.

The only bad things were the limited mileage (used nearly half of it just to pick up and drop off the car).
The car decided not to start on the last day, which was luckily fixed by the AA.

do they not charge a small fee to drop/pick up the vehicle?
