My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to California around the middle of October. What we'd like to do is fly to LA, pick up a hire car, take a couple of days to drive to our friends' place in San Francisco, take a few more days driving to other friends in San Diego, then a few more days driving back to LA before heading home. Basically a two week road trip. I've checked the normal car hire places, but they all seem dull. Sorry, but a Grand Am or a Cavalier just doesn't float my boat ! So I'm looking for something more "interesting". Not exotic, not the latest hi-tech wonder, but just a bit more individual. Budget is (I guess) about 500 - 600 USD for a two week hire. Any ideas ?

And of course, I'll have to try and bodge my Empeg in for the duration too :-)

Cheers,

Steve.
