Maybe we should put a block booking in for a few for Sebring next year.
Shame your not allowed to run rentals at Orlando drag strip (worth a visit if your doing the family trip to Disney etc), although probably get tramped by a rice burner  ::)

Rather worryingly all the cars that Hertz class as fun are Automatics!! Even the MX5 is auto!!!

(but I suppose if I cheered for a team that hasn't won anything in a century I'd be drunk & obnoxious too).

It can be controlled - i've only ever been drunk and obnoxious celebrating having finally won something after 135 years

I can't recall ever seeing a US rental car with a manual.   I've never rented anything close to exotic, but even the smallest putt-putt cars are autos.  The manual shift minivan doesn't even exist here.

The Hertz website Key had a image for whether the car is manual or auto. But i couldn't find a car that was manual.

What is the point in the key then???

Rick you could try telling them that you have to have stick shift as it is all your licence will allow you to drive. Or perhaps you could try telling them you have a disability and will sue their asses for discrimination if no stick shift is available. This sort of thing normally frightens the crap out of big corporations.

I'm just curious as to which disability would necessitate a stick shift.  ;D

Went to see the LA Dodgers play and they got spanked but a good game, then got a free ride out with the LAPD along Hollywood Bvld wher they were preparing for the Tallegeda Nights premiere. Also got to see how different they do things and have a quick ride on a boat out of Willinton Harbour PAtrol area.

Now if anyone has ever thought of buyinh a Harly - DONT. I'm getting shaken apart from the vibes in this thing. I am soon looking forward on Friday afternoon to returning it.....


Off back to Venice beach to watch the wierd and the strange and probably join in.

Au Reviour.

Robbo, you're getting shaken to bits on a rubber mounted engine model!
I used to ride a hard tailed rigid mount engine. Thats vibration!
Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
