neo Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 This hasn't gone to plan at all, I am so @*!# at posting pictures, I am promised some training by Lexx tomorrow. I've let my self down, the school down...... your problem there was that when you pasted the URL for the image, youve managed to delete part of the [/img] code (highlighted) Many thanks edited the picture link for you Quote
Stew Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 The crap thing is the only 'decent' car virtually any site lists is the mustang convertible (or similar) and I don't want a convertible or a mustang particularly.... I want a Camaro or a challenger ideally! Rental car companies suck with their choices! Maybe I need to research more to actually get a semi decent car! Quote

Yeah... in Florida (at this time of the year) a convertible is a crazy idea due to the afternoon rain. Plus it is really TOO hot for the hood down in the mornings! They had a few coupe Mustangs... which I suppose it a decent compromise... Quote
Stew Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Hertz are the only company I've found that actually list the Mustang coupe. I'll be picking up in Miami and keeping the car for 22 or 23 days. Quote
EH 370z Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I have done the Mustang thing. Mmm, bad idea unless you could blag a decent spec one. The one I had (In yellow) had the worst suspension in the world and kept bottoming out over speed bumps and the interior was rubbish, that said it was a series one, and I think the series two is a bit better. The trouble is you book these things blind, and you just pray for what you actually expect Quote

mrobinson2 Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Hertz have the 'adrenaline cars' selection. This includes the V8 Mustang GT Premium, the V8 Challenger R/T and a V8 Camaro. This is in Orlando at least, as i'm looking at either the Camaro or the 'stang for a couple days while i'm there. Would have gone for the Challenger, but the mrs doesn't like it! Quote

Camaro SS was about £1200, Fancy Mustang £2500 and Challenger R/T £2500 for the duration I wanted! £2500 - no way, £1200 I'd think about.... however a standard mustang was under £600. It's a lot more cash, sure it's ACE however not sure if I can justify the difference. Quote

Stew Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Yeah, decent for a couple of days. Just not for over 3 weeks! Quote
HaydnH Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Yeah... in Florida (at this time of the year) a convertible is a crazy idea due to the afternoon rain. Drive faster. Plus it is really TOO hot for the hood down in the mornings! Drive faster. Quote
slimjim Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Drive faster. Never driven in Florida have you.... specially not in the Floridian rain Or in a Mustang... Driving faster would just kill you. Quote
Husky Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Or in a Mustang... Driving faster would just kill you. chicken Quote
