I've already been in my old car - 190e 2.6. It was awesome. The next time, I went in another old car of mine - Chrysler Crossfire (SLK320 based). On the next trip I rented 2 BMWs and an Audi, and this time I wanted something fast that handled.

Best I could find was the Porsche. Would have liked an SLK55 or similar, but couldn't find one for the money.

Q. What's the definition of an RV (Recreational Vehicle)?

A. A rental car with full insurance!

Just looked at that wed site good post. AS I worked out driving over there and with clues by the Germans driving sign it is the sign that represents our national speed limit.

Will look at the pics at home. This net connection at work is simply pathetic at the moment.

Thanks for those Scot,
Did the rental company say anything about all the grass you left on the car from the doughnuts?
More to come I hope.

I guess it's the beauty of driving a rental. Just find the nastiest brush wash that you can and put a few euros in. It looked very clean when we gave it back.
