This is very short notice as I have only just been asked but hopefully someone can come to my rescue
tomorrow is my sisters prom and would like a classic rolls or something similar to take her and her boyfriend to her prom in the new forest (hampshire) if anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I see no problem with these posts from long term members. Its when someone joins up on the day asking for it that is a bit cheeky.

It's not quite a Rolls Royce but my Passat smooths out bumps and reduces road noise to similarly sumptuous levels.

You can hardly hear the diesel engine.

If you can make your way to central Scotland there are many forests here, new and old, you're welcome to have a ride in it.

I'm not sure I even understand the question.

I'm making the point that there have been a fair few of these recently. I'm not saying they're bad, or shouldn't be allowed. What did you think I said?

And I find some of them funny, the one the other day, some 15/16 year old was getting dropped off at his high school 'prom' in a helicopter!
Perhaps it's how I read your comment. I saw it as "not another one of these bloody threads".

I tried to avoid that with the last sentence, must have missed the mark though.
I'm in a bad mood today, so ignore me.

If this is what happens to all his threads, I'm not surprised OP has only posted 6 times in 5 years.
( realise the irony that I am adding to the OT sniping)

Sorry, No Roller, 200 miles away.

There are a couple of S classes you can hire from the airport run taxi firms.
try here

I agree with you, and yeah the helicopter one was rather hilarious. I mean for god sake, how much did that cost? Few grand? Utter madness. Shove the brat in a taxi.

Not aimed at OP of this thread.

Have a look at Thifty Elite Cars, E Class Convertible around £175 for 24 Hours, F-Type £320 , then you get to have fun too.

My BiL took his daughter to her prom on a ride-on mower, she was quite happy.

No Rolls but this lot could help you source a vehicle that will draw attention.

Is it just me that hates this term "Prom"?
Fine in the gold old USA, but over here, didn't they used to be called "Balls"?

Just get a local "car service" to do it, plenty of airport style outfits will do a chaufered s class for cheap money. 65 miles to heathrow costs me £80, anytime, day or night!

Wedding cars? Not many weddings in the evening, might get a 1 way trip on the cheap?
