Default Let Me Rent your Europe compatable SatNav!

I need a sat nav to go to europe with again on tuesday 27th feb, until the 5th of march! I went last time with a tomtom 910 and returned it to halfrauds when id done with it, as it was £500 lol, and I had a massive hassle of returning it so I dont want to do that again!

If anyone would lend me a satnav which works in europe, I would gladly pay them a fee etc. and return it when im home! Would just save me and a few mates a massive amount of money! I am a trustworthy chap, I have dealt with mangel on here a couple of times etc. and would provide my address/phone number etc. and collect it,

PM Me if you can help

Hello please lend me, someone you don't actually know an expensive peice of equipment that I am to cheap to buy. I would appreciate it if you could spare me the expense of paying for a sat nav as only mugs like you lot would actually buy one. You can't expect a man like myself to use a map that would be far to trickey.
regards pikey man

If you're that cheap (like myself) then aquire a backup copy of Tom Tom mobile 5 (or 6) and a bluetooth GPS receiver (all on Ebay) and stick it on your phone . All for £50

Get CostCo membership - about £20 - buy a SatNav from them, and then take it back (without any hassle or questions or anything) when you get back.

A few weeks ago (early Jan) I was taking summut back to CostCo when I noticed that the guy in front was getting a full refund on a 7ft tall artificial Xmas tree.... reboxed up again. He got it.
