So I get to Hertz car rental In Washington DC and what do they have sat there just waiting to be rented - and it's the convertible version.
Never driven anything with a big American V8 - so I'm a very happy chap - awesome sound system too with satelite radio.
Mind you - total crap car really - sounds great, looks god and goes like stink - but the interior is still 1980's European car....
BTW - you can't post images in 'Anything Else' then?

It's not the most attractive car in the world is it
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it bites my bullet any day, !!!
I'm going to america shortly and want to rent a convertible if possible, how much are they charging you and for how long may I ask? everywhere
I've looked sting you with a pile of taxes
Regards
Matt
It ain't cheap - but then it is a business trip - $900 for 7 days - that's without the CDW insurance which I don't need as my Amex card
covers it.
You can get a regular V6 Mustang for $350 a week - it's 4L and only 200bhp - how do Yanks manage to get so little power from so much engine
......
maybe low on power but plenty of torque ..... or not?
im florida bound next wed
ive got a dodge rt estate ( chrysler 300 )
i hope

they told me i could upgrade to a hummer if i wanted
ps dont bother with a convertible if you're in florida, far too hot. You need aircon on full!

Tim's just bought a Jeep with the economical 4 litre straight 6 engine
Had the roof down today, driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains - did lots of overtaking just to hear the engine hit 6k rpm 
Mind you - I'm only getting 16mpg
Jasper, last time I was over there I drove over there several times, I burst into song several times, did you ? Come on admit it.
Great Indian in Charlottesville on the main road through, also a nice Chinese buffet too.........

She is on the mend, told up to 6 months for full recovery, it cost me a trip to China and would have been in Shanghai for the GP. We have an
unbelievable storey to tell from start to finish, a 2 week honeymoon that turned into a month long 3 center disaster. We flew back via New York, (big
seats required for missus) called into news agents, some sweets n a drink, cost ? $9-11........
Where you staying ? I was working in a pharmaceutical factory just as you drop out of the mountains on the opposite side to Charlottesville, there was
a garage near by that sold those iccle caravans you tow behind a Harley. I also had the miss fortune of having some yank GM gutless hire
car...........Great bends or what ? those wagons are a tad big though.
Glad to hear june is on the mend jon, i'm sure we wil all catch up in 08 and you can tell us the whole story over a pint or two

My friend part-exed his ZT400 for a TVR T350, and within a week rang up the guy he got the TVR from and asked if he could buy the MG back as he missed it so much! Got both sitting on his drive at the moment
