Hi

Does anyone know of any sportscar hire companies in North or better still North East/Yorkshire. Looking for Caterham, elise etc. or has anyone seen something like club GT up here where they have iconic cars on a sensible membership (not supercar silly).

Thanks

Scott.

If there isn't one, do you reckon there would be a demand. I'm getting sick of changing my car and losing thousands, but get bored after about 9_14 months.

Cheers, S

I would love to find a sports/classic car hire club local(ish) to me.

Thinking interesting stuff to stop boredom setting in, cars that either look amazing or are quirky, mixed with some modern classics (Late rover mini cooper etc), and some proper drivers cars.

This lot keep sending me flyers. No idea if they are any good or how if would work for you down here - I guess it'd be a drive up to Edinburgh to collect?

That collection of motors would tempt me certainly the £2000 per annum package but the time/cost of a 6 hour round trip to pick up then return a car would make it unviable, as would the cost of a weekend in scotland with the OH just to keep her quiet.

Good idea, but I'm sure that loads of these clubs have been going under lately... Maybe it's not the best time to be starting another one.

I know it's a different kettle of fish, but hasn't Damon Hills P1 company just gone bust?

That's more than the RRS.

Yeah right, I can just see Owen, Jones, Cisse, Butt etc etc having to pay to have a try in a car.

Who would have a google ads banner on a prestige car hire website? confused looks pretty ropey to me, especially compared to some of the other companies out there.

For details of a number of companies hiring out either classic or modern sports cars (NOT car share clubs) see the UK page of Classic Car Hire World
http://www.classiccarhireworld.com/contentok.php?i... .

Wherever you are in the country there is a company not too far away.
