I took a local kid to his prom earlier this year in my lambo.
He text me back saying he lost his virginity that night thanks to a girl he has liked seeing him arrive in a lambo.
I smiled to myself and to me it was worthwhile helping the lad out.
He'll be after you for help with child maintenance next He text me back saying he lost his virginity that night thanks to a girl he has liked seeing him arrive in a lambo.

That's one way to burn through a pile of money very quickly, although I suppose not as quickly as buying one of the cars!oldcynic said:

Okay then, so that'll be a couple of hundred quid max then ?
I don't even think you're going to be able to sort the insurance issue... so this is just a complete waste of time. Do you really think someones going to risk a driving ban to take your son to a wedding ?
Either pay the going rate with a legitimate hire company, or forget the idea...

Excuse me!! I work full time as a prison officer and have always paid my way through my life, I don't have a begging bowl I simply want a little help in giving my son the best day ever... I feel sorry for you you must be a very sad person to behave like this.....
Like I say... I use my car for charity things at every opportunity but I just feel that its a piss take that someone is expecting a random person to drive their adult son to a wedding and not even pay anywhere near market rate. And expect them to drive uninsured in the process You're mental.70proof... I wouldn't be pissed off at all. I'd just think you were a complete mug, so feel free to do it

why a mug..... I enjoy driving my car, if I did this, I'd be driving..... all she's asking for is maybe an hour max of my time..... also, I am happy to share my car with others, even if it means giving them a ride..... I've given upteen strangers a spin around my way...... I've always loved lambos, I know what it was like to be on the other side.....a good friend off here not only gave a stranger a ride in his f40 at one of my meets, he let him drive it FFS! because he could see how much it would mean to him..... no money changed hands..... I don't think what a mug, I think what a hero.....

I think what people,are trying to point out are practicalities:
The owner would have to:
Keep the date free - cancel any upcoming plans, etc in the middle of summer
Clean the car before going
Drive to Stoke on Trent
Hang about picking your son up - pictures, etc
Drive to the wedding
More pics on arrival
Hang about during ceremony
Potentially more pics afterwards
Then leave and for what? Fuel would be covered by the couple of hundred quid I presume you're willing to pay but what about time?
There's then the very valid question of insurance.
There's a reason why hire companies charge so much for something like this. Whilst I understand you wanting to do something to make your sons days happy, you can't expect someone to give up a morning, etc for less than the going rate when they don't even know you
Charity is different. You (and your son) are, I'm afraid, not a charity case.
