I'm now car-less

Selling mine in a couple of weeks time and going to use it as an excuse to get myself a beaten up old toy of some description which I will keep when the Evoque arrives!

If I'm left 'carless' I might do the same...always wanted a 1980s BMW 3 series (the E30 model)....although all the decent ones are starting to appreciate now...

I noticed last night as I drove passed the local National/Europcar rental centre that they had a line of some very desirable Audi, BMW and Mercedes convertibles lined up on the forecourt - might be a good time to rent one for a few weeks and enjoy the forecast Indian summer over the next two weeks or so. They also had an Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the line of cars - now this isn't a big city depot, this is a small country town depot so I wonder if they are having a special promotion of desirable cars at the moment.
I was once let down very badly by Hertz a few years ago, I thought I would treat myself and the lady friend to a weekend in the New Forest with a Merc SL500, duly booked and confirmed for collection from the Heathrow Airport branch........... when I arrived there was no SL500 in sight and what had they on offer.................... a Volvo S80, a very nice car but not a 2 seat open top tourer for a sunny weekend on the south coast. Europcar rose to the challenge though when I called them, they got us an SLK at no notice and for the same rate as a 2.0ltr auto C class Merc!
