"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -
It's easy to get lost in Liverpool- I don't know if it's because they've nicked all the road signs for scrap , but many's the time I've ended up on an anonymous council estate after taking a wrong turn... street after street of identical council houses!
The one time I did stop & ask a scouser for directions - he would only tell me on condition of a lift to where he was going!How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

I wish to hire a sports car for a weekend Fri - Mon (or sun pm) looking on the net i'm finding stupid prices of £2k plus 5k for a deposit. Are these the sort of normal prices do you think. By the way forgot to mention that i'm looking at hiring a Ferrari 360 spider or is there anywhere out there anyone can recommend or knows is cheaper.
maybe if you do own one you could hire it out to me ?
The prices you quote are pretty normal. It is often the case the cars return needing work. Unless you are a good sensible driver, expect to lose the deposit.

Agree with Threaded - prices are about right.
Of course - depends which weekend your talking about. Next weekend - expect to pay more, if you can find a car to hire. There's a certain 24 hour race going on.Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

There not cheap because they are feckin expensive to insure for hire, the Vietnamese guy who was on the apprentice last year lives near me and he had all sorts of auto exotica on his drive that were all for hire, he had to give the business up as the overheads were just too much.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

It's true... the average range I spent on spider maintenance per month was £300 - 500"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Ask any scouser where Mount Killamanforagiro is.Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment
