That's Newstead Abbey!! It's a great venue for a wedding but that approach road is like an assault course

Here's my jalopy at the same location

lol it was cold, about minus 8C that day, it was certainly very
dicey driving into Newstead Abbey - at least I was in the Avantime
so had the benefit of traction control and ABS, all Phill had were
prayers in the De! lol

Mind you, its been a fab week for enjoying the cars hasnt it! biggrin

Balmoral Green used his Bentley Turbo R as a wedding car recently. That vintage of Bentley or Rolls would get my vote over an Arnage or Phantom.

I though would like a Scania R720 6x2 tractor unit.

Got some friends starting up a wedding car service. I think they have a '56 Thunderbird and 2 Mustangs at the moment.

I'm thinking of using my DBS ?

Took a groom to church few weeks ago and it went down a treat.

What's your thoughts?

As devoted petrol heads we argued with family to use cars that meant something to us, and wife's mum wanted a daimler.

Picture of big red daimler she finally got and my transport.

and the car entrusted with getting wife to church on time.

I was at a wedding fayre with the OH on Sunday and parked out the front was, I thought at first, your typical Bentley Turbo R or similar. How wrong I was. It was a Brooklands R Mulliner, one of 100 made. If me arriving by helicopter falls through then I'll be rocking up in this I've decided.

Who me ?

Wise words. I sat in the Bentley and had a good car geek chat with the owner! I'd always want to see a car (or any form of transport) in the flesh before the day. I'll even do it with the helicopter.
