Thinking of the wedding (again) I quite like the idea of having a nice car for a long weekend (wedding on the Saturday). After all if my wife to be can justify a dress at £900+ that will be worn for 9 hrs or so I think £400-£500 for a nice car for nearly 4 days is fine
Anyone rented a flash car before? I would love a 355 or similar but that may stretch the budget too far so was thinking of maybe an S2000, XJ8 or TVR Griffith.
Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you the part all the hire companies will laugh at - I'll still be just 23 at the time of hire

Hi Ya
I had 355 for weekend,i actually won it on a competition on kent fm.It was from dealer situated in the paddock entrance to brands hatch.Now this is going back nearly 4 years now.The cost would have been,£3k cash deposit £550 per day and if over 200 miles then it was £1 per mile.I did over 400 miles good job i wasnt paying for it.Fantastic weekend,wicked car even had photo shoot in our local courier.Amazing how many of your mates hear about it,i spent most of the sat morn taking people out.Then took my wife for a pose down brighton,dont think people used to seeing a 355 being given a little.If you can afford it then go for it,just dont expect to get any sleep.Good luck with finding one near you.Hey why not forget the wedding and just hire the 355 for a week .lol

In fact in order to save you having to wait for the poxy flash movie to complete, I'll tell you the prices. For a weekend (Fri 2pm-Mon 1 pm):
Tuscan: £675
Cerbera Speed 6: £675
T350C: £600 <-- my choice
Tamora: £600
Chimaera: £550
Contact 020 8906 0077
Prices assume you're over 30. If not, it says "contact them"

I hired a Porsche 911 for 4 days for £500 a few years ago from www.bespokes.co.uk
Was impressed with service, car ran like a dream and I did loads of miles and was great fun. Definately a potential license loser as I got a bit carried away during my 4 days
