People Asking You To Do Them a Favour in Your Car!
Discussion
I've also had it - with my German scrapheap challenge (996 C4) - certainly not a supercar (well, it's a "super" car to me).
Got asked to do a wedding - dropping the groom and best man at the church. Had to wear the suit as well.
That said, it was a favour for a friend of a friend. I got invited to the whole wedding, meal at the reception and evening invite. Also got a valet out of it and a 'kin huge slap up breakfast.
The nice thing was that I could tell it was really appreciated - I didn't mind then.
I've also done a couple of rides to proms, and trips back from Shelsey Walsh. I've got a dash cam, so extracted the footage onto a dvd for them - made their day
Just a chance to do something nice
As for strangers etc, tbh, I think there's a limit, but it is a fine line.
All imho, of course

I get this an awful lot, not with the Ferrari but with my VW splitscreen camper. I am approach by people wanting to "use it" for their wedding. I get the whole story about how they love them, always wanted one, grew up in one blah blah blah. I get told how it would make their day etc etc, how they will only need the van for 4-5 hours and that its only 150 miles away. They also know that a splitscreen cost £800 plus for a wedding, so actually they are just after a free ride. I write down their number, tell them that I will think about it and file it in my piss taking, never met you before, cheeky b
ds receptacle.
My BiL and his other half have a splittie, absolutely mint and just had a full bare metal respray and they've been accosted in a similar way to yourself many a time. ds receptacle.Strangely enough they also have a filing receptacle like yours as well
I gave my 911 to a friend to take her friends kid to 'prom'. ( I'm not in America)
She obviously arrived with her head out of the sunroof and standing on my passenger seat with stiletto heels.
Nice. Wee refurb job later.
Always thought I'd be free and easy if I had something really fancy but this made me rethink.
Grrrrrr.
