Hire Car For My Mum's Birthday

[dontfeelcold]

My Mum's birthday is coming up near the end of october and for her birthday I was thinking of hiring a car for her to drive for a day/weekend. Not a everyday car, something special. I have looked around, some cars are a bit out of my price range (ferraris etc) but something like a lotus would be more affordable at around $500 odd for a day.

Whats the lotus like as far as straight line performance goes? does it put you in the back of the seat under accelleration (she likes that feeling)?

Can anyone recommend a place that does hire cars like this? or any other type of performance car? The other optin is a driving course out on a race track where they show you how to drive properly, but it would need to be something that gave alot of time on the track.

help is appreciatted and suggestions welcome.

try and get a big block old school u.s muscle car like a camaro/stringray/mustang. or some kind of old hemi

everyone has different tastes but they sound so sweet.

no idea where to hire anything like that though.

hummer!!!

yeah a hummer was one thought, something with some muscle was another thought. She is into the old cars but appreciates anything with some decent grunt.

Keep the ideas coming

Which Lotus?

All are light and zippy out of the box, but you don't get 'fast' until you get into newer and ideally supercharged models.

Your best bet would be a V8 Supercar drive day or renting an Audi from Europcar. They have A4 and TT ragtops as part of their prestige fleet.

My mum did it last weekend - had a ball.

Now she wants to do laps of Sandown in the Exige!
