Gaz Walker Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 They will yes, my mate (23) is getting a DB9 for his wedding. Its around £3k for 2 days hire plus a £4k deposit for any damage. Most places will only do over 25 or 30. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Who's it a treat for? You or her? Are you sure a flash car is really what your GF would want you spending all that money on. There's much more appealing things to most women then a ride in flash hire car. YMMV of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debonaire9989 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 hehe, fair point. well its just to make it that bit more special, and she is into her flash cars, so i think she would like it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Spend the money on some quality booze and food you wouldn't normally buy (Their Roast Garlic Lobster with Scallops & King Prawns for example) or better still book rooms somewhere nicer (Hotel du Vin, Studio room - Harrogate for example, you are young, the Crab is for stuffy old folk) and treat her to a bit of high-end shopping. Hiring a posh car for 48 hours is like renting a high class hooker for the school reunion, it'll impress your mates, you'll get a short-lived thrill but the day after you'll be skint and empty...

Daston Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Spend the money on getting the supe valited and pro polished that way your car will fit right in and will probly draw more looks than the normal ferraris that every one sees day in day out at those places. Plus your car will look ace for any shows coming up. Oh and you can save money and get the GF a nice necklace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 personally I would spend the money on other things, I would arrange a romantic weekend away somewhere, paris, venice etc and stay in a top 5* + hotel, book dinner and arrange for a car to come and collect you for dinner outside the hotel (ps not a taxi) have flowers waiting for her when she gets there and a nice dinner, maybe take a romantic walk back to the hotel after if its not too far.....she will be putty in your hands after that and you will still have some change to spare and I can almost garauntee she will like it way more that any flash car.....ps keep it a secret as well, girls love that all in my opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debonaire9989 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 i totaly agree with what you say, but sadly i have to work weekends as the boss is away, but if you search for crab and lobster in thirsk and click on the bora bora room, i think you'l be supprised as to how nice it is!! already got the moet on ice when we arrive and a nice dinner there, a nice car to pick us up you say, i shall look into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 One of the better rooms, less chintz than some For the next special trip put Castell Deudraeth in Portmeirion on the short-list, a really nice experience and amazing restaurant. On top of this the roads around there are lots of fun http://www.portmeirion-village.com/en/accom-pages.php?pages=3&sM_id=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
