Classic Car And Van Hire

My car is getting closer to being back on the road soon but I still have a few months to wait and all this lovely sunny weather we are having at the moment is making me itch to get back in an old car and go for a random drive. At the moment I’m driving a Mk2 Golf, which although loved by many and praised for how well it can drive a track even as a standard car, I find quite boring and in desperate need of some decent suspension (which it will have in a couple weeks…)

I want need to get back in a car where the steering makes my arms ache, the smell of petrol is so strong I get a little woozy and the engine is so loud it scares boy racers and their 8 inch tail pipes. I have talked about how, if my car is still broken by the time the show season comes up, that I will get one of those awesome classic camper van hire things and do a show in relative comfort in the back of a splitty van rather than a rubbish tent. Ideally one day I will be looking in the vans for sale sections of forums and free ads to buy my own but with the prices at the moment that is just a pipe dream. Who knew old vans driven by hippies could cost so much!

Well anyway I’m half tempted to have a look at the car hire stuff you can get, not to go anywhere in particular just so I can bomb around in an old e-type Jag for the weekend. In fact I think I might find all the old cars that you can get to hire and make a big post about it so stay tuned!

In the meantime have a picture of a Golf that I hope the one I drive will look like soon (Except Silver).
