Dunno about the UK, but here in the US at several major airports and
cities, there are very exclusive, private rental agencies.  They have
unlisted phone numbers and aquire new customers by word of mouth only; they
rent top of the line luxury cruisers like BMW 9 series, Mercedes whatevers
:), and "exotic" sports cars(maybe even a viper or two.)  Heck, maybe even
Audi A8's and stuff; maybe some places have an S8 or S6...

Speaking of weird cars to rent, there are some weird limos around Boston
lately...keep your eye out for Black Volvo S70/S90 sedans and V70/V90
wagons  in gorgeous shape with a cell phone antenna and a set of livery
plates...quite unusual, in the face of the most popular LV
vehicles...things like Continentals and the like...but apparently they're
doing quite well.  Every time I drive into Boston or anywhere near Logan, I
see them...

BTW, speaking of Lotus cars...some computer trivia.  The reason SGI named
an entire line of systems Indigos and made them that same color...is
because the president owns one sweet looking Lotus painted that exact
color.  Take an SGI "Purple Box"(as they are affectionately known) and plop
it down next to his car; perfect match.
