Nothing revs like a rental

It's not a car, it's a ground dwelling rocket / missile / plane.

Can think of a few people I'd like to see strapped to the front of it. Not going to mention any names, just in case.

The Yaris will p!ss all over it on Fish Hill.

To me it's not a 'car' unless the engine drives the wheels. It's might be a land speed record vehicle, just not a car.

Do they have to return it refuelled?
And check for dents before you take the keys!
