They were Northo's cars, I saw the Rio Prestige logo on the booking forms, how much Northo, £18k on one day? That isn't bad!

Is that a generalisation or are you quoting private information? Would not be happy myself if it was the latter.

I liked the idea of hiring the car out for a few hours as opposed to a full day which is something I would love to see available up here. I think it could really roll because like a lot of people I find it hard to get a full 24 hours off and Rio would benefit by building a larger client database without having to pay for it.

I would not offer a one hour deals because complete idiots would end up hiring the cars but a £250 few hour package would see me back every week :P

So for anyone at Rio who is reading this, Get an area on your web site where existing customers can log in and view what not hired out that day, let us buy some time in the cars at list price and bring it back a few hours later with a big smile on our faces :P

You could clearly see the Rio crest on the order form which is the same one they use for any private hire (well it was when i have used them)

The £18k, was from £11k from one group and £7k from the other. Thats where I got that info from.

The other team did £2k ish didn't they?

Good episode I thought, bet we were all thinking we could of done a better jobwink

I think they were right to gamble on the Zonda, but I would have taken the Gallardo instead of the Aston. As much as I love Astons, if you're a man of means, in the City, hiring a car for a couple of hours you want it for 1 reason. To pose. And the Gallardo is much more of a extroverted stand out car.

Nice promo work Northowink

When did you get a grey Koni, I thought you had a blue one?
