TO HIRE A LOTUS ELISE

[cirvy]

Where can we go to hire an Elise for a weekend, based in the East Midlands, only place so far is in London with a 100 mile a day limit, not much use!
Any help greatly appreciated

Try Christopher Neil - IIRC they're in Birmingham which is a bit better I suppose

[telecat]

Oxfordshire or Leeds better??

Sorry I didn't remember correctly - Chris Neil is in the North West somewhere, Nick Whale is Birmingham - sorry!

No use as to where but I hired one before I bought mine & could only do 125 miles a day so don't expect to be able to do lots of miles unless you pay for the extra mileage.

Got anything you want to tell me mate
Can't you try for an 'extended test drive' out of a localish 'festival of speed' type place

Dont panic Racey my old mate, its for my neighbour, obviously i'm keen to turn my patch into sportscar corner!
My neighbour loves Elises & expecting a big bonus this year

You're surprisingly close with the Blue Nun theme, he works in BOOZE

How much?

[Nightmare]

er...whats current going rate if you went to a normal hire shop?

[cirvy]

Apparently, its about £450 for 3 days....!

christ - really that much???? think i could do it for elss than that!

Can you drive? Do you respect cars? Will you destroy it if I lend you it?

[cirvy]

Its for a good friend/neighbour of mine, a good 'steady' type chap, 30, married with child,national account manager for a wine retail distributer, couldnt recommend him enough, i would lend him my TVR, but he prefers Lotus, really wants to buy, but is very cautious. He would pay for the priveledge.

Name your price

[raceboy]

Has he been to any of the local dealers, I know one of them is pretty clueless but getting a test drive is easy enough, and if you can talk the talk with them I would think an extended 'take it home for the weekend' type test drive with him sorting out his own insurance, etc, wouldn't be out of the question

Well - seeing as you're in the mood for hiring out your cars, how much for the Diablo?

[cirvy]

Raceboy, are you thinking of a certain dealer renown for his 'Festival of Locked Cars in Showroom'?
