    You can't be serious? I can't see anyone renting anyone a pushbike with that driving record. I take it that d/d = drunk driving? And why the scarey quotes around conviction?
    Are you for real? - Glass Half Empty??
    :coffee:
  • Omfg I'll just have to buy one. Saw a nice one in CH's for 12K 2008 I think but was maybe gonna get the astra instead.

    It's only a "conviction" if one believes in / adheres to legal codes made east of Ireland.:money:

    You got caught drink driving in the Isle of Man?
  • No certainly not. I couldn't honestly get one as it would be nicked where I live, hence why I would want to lease one for a day. Europe car said it was between 200-400 to rent one but basically as my penalties were so "mature" they couldn't take the "risk" of lending to a guy like me.

    The insurance would be ridiculous too is the other concern.
