Back in the seventies, I read a road test of the MG 1100. The tester had a great time, thrashing it around the country, entered it in a motorkana, generally found out everything the car could and couldn't do. Then returned it to the hire car company :oo:

Dockies called me to the swains table one morning & asked where i took the car on the week-end. I said nowhere...didnt drive it. They said i was lying & because i was BM i had access to the keys & there was 700 unauthorised klms on it since friday. I told them that had i taken it i would have disconnected the speedo & then proceeded to show them how to do it. They said "we'll call you if we need you" Man they were a pathetic lot.

The whole rentacar/motorsport thing got to be such a problem that CAMS inserted a specific regulation banning the use of rental vehicles in motorsport, unless they were specificaly intended for the purpose.
there were guys who would pick up a car thursday afternoon, throw a cage and a halda in it, run a rally, and return it with a straight face monday morning.......untill a few got totaled.
cheers
