A REPLICA yellow Fiat, similar to the one seen in The Inbetweeners and complete with a ridiculous single red door, is now available to rent in London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
Car-sharing marketplace Turo is offering fans the chance to take on their very own comedy road trip in a fantastic copy of Simon Cooper's first car, available for £55 per day.

A replica of Simon's unforgettable car from The Inbetweeners is available to rent
Available for one month only, as an added bonus, Turo is offering drivers who are fastest to the buzzer in each location free tickets to Thorpe Park - giving them the chance to relive one of the show's most iconic episodes from the first series.
The distinctive yellow supermini, which is a Fiat Seicento - rather than the show's Fiat Cinquecento - features the red replacement door made famous by the series.
Available on Turo from June 2, the only stipulation is that drivers must be aged 25 or over to book the vehicle.
Rory Brimmer, Managing Director at Turo UK, said: 'From its comparison to urine to its eventual watery grave, Simon's car became as much a character in The Inbetweeners as the four lads themselves.
'Now, we're giving fans the chance to get behind the wheel of this piece of British comedy history - and avoid long waits at the bus stop.'
The added theme park perk is handed to fans in the form of a voucher for Thorpe Park tickets alongside their booking, or Alton Towers for those based near Manchester.
Turo insists that, unlike in the show - where Simon's car faced numerous issues, including having its door ripped off, being vandalised and ultimately rolling into a lake at the end of the show's run - this replica is in great condition and fully functional.
The Fiat is a mainstay on the show, which ran from 2008 to 2010 across three seasons of just 18 episodes.
Given to the character Simon (played by Joe Thomas) by his parents after passing his driving test, he takes an instant dislike to the car, particularly because of its colour and the fact that it has a tape deck.
On the same day he gets the car, Simon takes his friends Jay and Will on a road trip to Thorpe Park, but upon arrival, Jay becomes impatient when Simon is reverse parking and opens the door too quickly, breaking it off against a lamppost.

It later gets a mismatched red replacement door.
Turo allows drivers to rent just about any car, just about anywhere - from tech-savvy EVs to rugged 4x4s and reliable city runarounds.
Options also include picking up the motor or having it delivered to your preferred location, with third-party liability insurance thrown in as standard as well as a range of vehicle protection plans.

I have 18 siblings & some of them are also my cousins – I always lie on dates because my family tree is so embarrassing
Scroll down to learn more about the world's biggest families FAMILY MATTERS I have 18 siblings & some of them are also my cousins – I always lie on dates because my family tree is so embarrassing Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that she always lies when she goes on dates, as she's so embarrassed by her family tree. Ellie Blythe claims that every time she mean a new potential beau, she tells them she simply has two brothers and a sister. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ellie revealed she has 18 siblings Credit: TikTok/Ellieblythe 2 She said she always lies about her family tree when she's on dates Credit: TikTok/Ellieblythe However, this is far from the truth. "I've actually got 18," she claimed in a viral TikTok video, posted under the username @ellieblythe. Shocking her viewers even further, she added: "Not only do I have 18, some of them are also my cousins." Ellie said that she does not want to have to explain this on dates, as it is too complicated. The TikToker gave no further information on how this is possible, and didn't give any evidence to back up her claims. However, the post quickly garnered the attention of TikTok users, racking up 200,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts. One person said: "18 siblings?! what's your mum? was she a cat?" A second person said: "have two cousins who are also my stepbrother and stepsister." A third person said: "I would happily go on a date with you just so I could hear this story." Top 5 Controversial Celebrity Family Moments And Ellie isn't the only person to have an unusual family tree. Celina, 37, revealed that she had three kids with her husband, before realising he was her cousin. The secret came out, after her husband Joseph, 44 did a DNA test to find out more about his heritage. "When I realised that we were cousins, I was a little sick to my stomach", Celina told Love Don't Judge. The world's biggest families The Vassilyev family This family currently holds the record for the most children a couple has parented, after the matriarch gave birth to 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and seven sets of triplets. Mrs. Vassilyev has given birth to a total of 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and 7 sets of triplets. 67 of the 69 children survived infancy. The Radfords Sue and Noel are parents to 22 children, and their hectic family life is documented in reality show 22 Kids and Counting. The pair have remained adamant that they won't be having any more kids, but the amount of grandchildren they have is ever expanding, with daughters Sophie and Millie both mums of three. The Duggars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have 19 children - 10 sons and nine daughters. All of their children's names begin with the letter J. They also had their own reality show in the United States, and became household names because of it. The Bates family Kelly also has 19 children, with her husband Gil Bates. Of 19 deliveries, 14 of them were natural. The couple also have 28 grandchildren, with four more on the way. The Dougherty Dozen Mum Alicia frequently shares videos and pictures of her family. She and husband Josh have four biological children together, as well as adopting or fostering the rest of their brood. The Rosario family Yalancia and husband Michael are parents of 11. They had their first daughter together earlier this year, and are also parents to Jamel, 15, Michael Jr, 11, Angelo, 10, Gimani, seven, Armani, six, Sincere, three and Khaza, two. Their fourth son, also named Armani, was stillborn. Joseph was in complete denial at first, but after looking closely at the data, realised the truth. The DNA test confirmed that the duo are third to fifth cousins, and the revelation left them questioning their relationship. "I thought we were supposed to get divorced, but then I started thinking that for out children we need to stay together", Celina said. Celina described the revelation as a "pivotal moment" as "you're not supposed to be with your cousin, but it happened that way". Joseph added that he meant it in his wedding vows when he said: "Till death to us part", so he decided not to leave his wife due to the discovery.

I'm a 42-year-old divorced virgin – the real reason I've never had any sexual experiences with men despite being married
Rhasha opened up about her experiences on TLC's new show, Virgins BEDDER BELIEVE IT I'm a 42-year-old divorced virgin – the real reason I've never had any sexual experiences with men despite being married Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 42-YEAR-OLD virgin has revealed the real reason why she's never had sex, despite being married. Rhasha was married to a man for 10 months, but revealed that she never had any sexual experiences with her husband. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rhasha is a 42 year old virgin Credit: TLC 2 She never had sex with her husband Credit: TLC She describes herself as a "late bloomer" and explained that her lack of confidence has stunted her in the bedroom. "I wasn't attracted to guys till I was like in my mid-20s," she told TLC show Virgins, in a clip seen by the Daily Mail. "I think it was just being overweight and not having confidence in myself." Rhasha revealed that she has always struggled with her weight, and believed that men wouldn't be attracted to her because of her size. Opening up about her marriage, she told a professional on the show that her ex-husband was an international student from South Korea. She explained that they never met up, but spent four years texting each other. "He was so sweet and made me laugh, so when he told me that he didn't want to go back to his home country, I didn't want him to either", she said. She said that she was completely in love with the man, but revealed that he only ended up marrying her for a green card. Rhasha is now determined to lose her virginity, but said that her ordeal with her former nupitals has put her off getting wed again. "I have so much love to give and I'm such a nurturing person, but I don't know if I want to get married because I was before and that was a debacle", she said. Moment virgin has sex on Virgin Island with surrogate partner The new TLC show sees four adult virgins aim to finally have sex. Alongside Rhasha, the reality series features Deanne, a 35 year old with high standards, Alex a 34 year old living in his mum and dad's loft, and Sonali, a 37 year old who has practically never dated. Describing the show, TLC said it's a "wild, warm, and wonderfully awkward ride with four adults who have yet to experience sexual intercourse, as they navigate love, intimacy, and self-discovery in their 30s and 40s." "After years of missed connections and dating horror stories, these late bloomers are done playing it safe," the synopsis continues. "They're stepping outside their comfort zones and taking big swings to finally go all the way, emotionally and physically. "From navigating awkward first dates to exploring a bondage class and working with an intimacy partner they're putting it all on the line in hopes of finally sealing the deal." Virgins is set to air on TLC tomorrow, June 9.
