As you can tell from the title I'm getting married soon to an avid 'pistonheader.' Honestly he's never away from this site! So I wondered if you could help me organise a surprise for him on our wedding day in July.
Obviously, he loves cars - fast ones, and he's owned loads, from TVRs to a Lotus. But he'd love ride in a Ferrari or a Lamboghini (sp?). I've looked at lots of websites that could chauffer drive him to the church (the scenic route) but they charge upwards of £500 and I only want the car to an hour and a half at the most and kind of begrudge paying so much for so little time when he wont actually be driving, just being driven.
So I was hoping someone on here could help me out, either by letting me know of 'pay by hour' companies or by offering your own time and car. Obviously I would pay you for this.
I'm in the North West, close to Manchester, Wigan, Bolton and Preston.
Thanks in advance,
The Bride to be

Sorry i can't help, as don't have an appropriate car and live in the south east, but have you thought about posting this in the North West regional forum, or the Ferrari/Lamborghini one? You'll probably get more success in either of those two sections. Good luck!

Go to the NORLOG Lotus website and look up a chap by the name of Russ. He has a Lamborghini Gallardo that he hires out for short periods - often Groom to Church etc.

Good luck!

Also worth posting in the Ferrari/Lambo section if you haven't already, they seem a nice bunch smile

Hi!

Great idea... I'm sure he'll love it.

If you give me a call then i may be able to help out by pointing you in the right direction. I'm going to post my mobile number on here... hope I'm not breaking any PistonHead rules which will see me getting points on my license!

Not a Ferrari or Lambo but I've got a supercharged (485HP) Mustang which I do weddings with. I would be happy to do it half price (about £90) for a fellow PH'er but July is pretty busy for me. If you're interested, PM me the details.
