Prom surprise plead (Nottingham)

[Ben_3.0V6]

Hi all,

This is a bit of a plead really, for anyone local (Nottingham) or willing to travel. To help me out with a surprise for my brother on the evening of Friday 8th July to get to his prom.

I was just taking him in my mundane Vectra, however on June 12th our step-father passed away, after much 'kerfuffling' with the family we have managed to secure a funeral date now unfortunately this is on the very same day as the prom.

I know with all that is going on that day my brother is going to be feeling down, so the idea is to surprise him with an amazing car to drop him at his prom.

If there is anybody on here willing to help me out or point me in the right direction this would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advanced.

I'm local. I have a supercharged mx5 but it's scruffy as fk so nowhere near special enough.

But have a bump anyway

Really appreciate all of the responses, supercharged mx5 sounds like real 'built not bought' weapon!

Loving the Evora in the only colour a Lotus should come in.

Thread could end on the Evora. Very good.

Not flash but I've got an XE and a Fiesta ST in the garage. Fairly local. What time would your brother need picking up?

I had to reregister on the forum as I've forgotten my original login details. Long time lurker and petrolhead.

Send me a PM if the Lotus tickles your fancy, I have been meaning to visit Nottingham for some time as the OH has family there and conveniently she has that day off.

That would cheer me up!

Is the lad a petrolhead? What does he like?

[V8LM]

From where to where?

[Ben_3.0V6]

He is a bit of petrol head and knows his cars so will appreciate most of what has been put forwards.

The pickup would be from Bilborough around 18:00/18:30 to be dropped in Nottingham city near to the ice arena.

It is, that's why it's scruffy as fk.

Take the evora offer up. He'll love it

Funerals go on pretty late round your way, won't you be clear for 18.30?

Huh?! The funeral is earlier in the day, the prom doesn't start until 19:00ish.

I have a Porsche Cayman s and the wife a nicely modded 370z, we do this quite often. In fact my wife is taking a neighbours child to a prom tommororrow 01 July.

I'm not guaranteeing that we can do it yet. Would have to check if swmbo is free and okay with it but I don't see a problem. We're in Newark so it's not major far to go.

These two cars sound and look like a potentially good option, at the moment I've taken up the offer of the Evora via PM, should this fall through I would more than appreciate your time and be in touch with you.

Obviously willing to cover fuel etc... With all of these options btw.

I'll leave my little 1 litre rally car in the garage then !!

Only kidding !!

Keep it out, i'll personally jump off n that one if we can do some offroading? It would be wasted on trip into town lol

Appreciate the offer though matey as with everyone else, I didnt expect any replies and the PH community have proven there are still kind hearted enthusiasts out there.

[Markbarry1977]

Ok swmbo is busy that evening with a girly do. I'm free and would have a choice of the Cayman or 370z so long as I have 12hrs notice. Less than that and the 370z won't be available.

Glad to be of help if needed. Although I think I would take the evora, I'm looking at trading the Cayman in for one. There very nice.
