Before we went i booked a car online with AVIS to pic up at the airport for the week, Only things i specified was it was a GOLF/MEG/ASTRA type care with a petrol engine. So we arrived at the airport i was excited to see what i get to drive as this was my first time driving on the 'wrong' side of the road.
Got to the desk handed over my doc's and after about five mins the fella said 'Here’s your keys, it a Ford C-max 1.8'. I looked at him as if he had two heads (I thought to myself not a family car) took the keys and walked out to find it, not as excited as i had been.
Anyway on my way to the car i pasted a rather nice looking 230 Megane. Now my heart started to race... is that a rental? I had to go back but my GF said no no no this will be fine. So i dandered on to the Cmax and loaded her up.
I was about to drive out of the car park and thought 'feck that' I’m going to ask! GF moaning in my ear.
So parked up and went in and spoke to the fella in my best Franglais and asked about the Megane. It was a higher car and they wanted and extra 8 euros a day to swap! I nearly threw my wallet at him.
Her she is..
I had such a good time in that motor. I would get up at 8 most morning tell the GF i was just going to get breakfast and not return until well after 10. I went through 2.5 tanks of fuel or there abouts in a week.(150L ish) I shouldn’t say it but was the highlight of the holiday!
lowering sport interia sport frount bumper then I'm sorted:)
