Final Drive

The next big thing in hearses

---

Merc-based coachbuilder Binz has made something special to see you to the pearly gates.

Using one of their E-Class based hearses, they’ve bolted a new CLS alike face to the front, so you can be seen slowly swooping though town in style.

Dum Dum Duh Dum...

Binz has had the CLS hearse side-impact crash tested, so your corpse will be safe too.

Sadly, the boxy rear remains unchanged, but will you care once you’re using it?

I wouldnt be seen dead in that

Isn't "Dum Dum Duh Dum" the first four notes of Wagner's Bridal Chorus?

Why would that involve a hearse?

[jmatras]

Well, considering the old Irish toast, "May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead," I suggest an AMG treatment as well. As far as the mourners keeping up, well, there's the old phrase, "may the devil take the hindmost."

I used to work as a funeral director valet and that looks like it would take forever to keep clean!!
I think Carlsson or Brabus should have alook at it and 'tune' it abit

[stagman]

I've always fancied turning up at my funeral in the back of the original yellow Volvo 850R, and instead of holding up all the traffic like is the norm, do the opposite and scream past the rest of the funeral go'ers!

One passed me this morning in central Reading. Some people get to see the latest supercars testing on the road, I get to see a new hearse...

BINZ UK has no trouble keeping their hearses and limos clean because they apply AGlaze paint sealant, which is approved by Boeing and Airbus and used
by British Airways and Sunseeker!

I thought it was darth vader

Errr........ just make sure you don't get 5, or more in convoy, in Nottinghamshire! - or they'll be stopped and fined for contravening the 'congregation'/ convoy injunction!!!

[groomi]

Blimey, the wind noise generated by that clumsy fitting conversion must be enough to wake the dead!





Is that my coat?

Nah, Series 3 Damiler Double-Six for me please and I want them to drift it around every corner on the way to the funeral.

Have you ever tried drifting an old Jag/Daimler? If you're lucky, the hedge you end up going backwards through will be just next to your 'plot' allowing an easy transfer - although the tiresmoke may make the assembled cortege think you opted for a cremation...



Personally, I want my driver to clock a ton.

Euuuck, thats hideous. I know you probably dont care when you are departed, but think of your mourners and show some style. Daimler 420G hearse for me please. On the way back from my grandad's funeral the one we were following hit 90. Probably doing a rush job, but pretty impressive for an old girl.
Failing that.. How about going to your final resting place in this blown big block hearse...

Hmmm, mine is a bogan nation...

Wheelbarrow for me I think, who cares when you're dead? It's not as if I'm going to have to push my smelly corpes around
