Ok, so this may be a little random, but i'm wanting to get your thoughts on sports car hire.

Has anyone here ever hired a sports car? I'm beginning to look at car hire for my wedding. I probably wont even end up doing it for financial reasons. But my dream car would be the new GTR.

I've found an 'Australian GTR hire' website that is currently under construction. So i'm waiting for that to come along.

So basically, has anyone rented a nice car before? Being my age, i wont be able to rent it out myself. But i still want to drive it. Is it worth it if something happens?

Thanks.

PS. Australia sucks for these kind of things, there are NO exotic cars for hire.

A couple of maes have gone on the luxury car cruses. You meet up in like Morningtom and drive 7 cars up the great ocean road and all over Victoria, just swapping cars every now and again.

From memory there was:
An r8
Corera
Lambo (dont know what model)
DB9
Heap of other cars.

Obviously the bogan version of Carrera.

I'v found heaps of those drive days, but not much for just hiring a car for myself for a day.

Damn straight us Victorians can't afford Porches

As for hiring, I can get my hands on a Astin Martin Vanquish V8 and some old school cars, but thats about it

Another thing i've found is a ridiculous difference in pricing.

I found a company that has a Fezza 355 spyder (meh) for $1525 a day.

And another that has an Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Holy ****!) for $1400!
