Fly + Rent Sports Car
Discussion
Where can you fly to, in Europe, where you'll find good fun "spirited driving" roads, and rent something fun (at a reasonable ish rate)?
The example is "fly to Inverness, rent a Caterham, drive the NC500" and ideally looking for something similar in Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Austria, or Germany.
Any suggestions?

I went to Northern Italy, hired an MX5 for a one way trip and drove to Rome, then flew back from there. Some fantastic roads through the spine of Italy and along the coast - and the MX5 was nimble and quick enough to be lots of fun without being too expensive or risking lots of chats with the carabinieri.

This sounds perfect. Thank you. Have a link handy for where you rented the MX5 from?DangerDoom said:

Budget I think were the only ones willing to give you a manual. We got to the counter and got an auto, diesel Mercedes CLK, which is not really very sporty at all. Top down slushbox motoring + tractor rattle = not cool. I pleaded at the counter for anything else but they said they never get manual or petrol convertibles so watch out for any "or similar" clauses you see!
