......to the phrase 'Get me to the church on time!'

Tony, don't you think brown stains on the wedding dress might look a little odd at the alter?

Hi folks, thanks for the interest.

I already have three people lined up for Aug / Sept - two grooms and a bride ! But I'm not going into this full time, I'll see how it goes. NB from a financial point of view there are significant benefits in doing the odd wedding run other than the £500 charge - if you are considering this yourself then email me at tony@wappenshall.com and I'll give you some pointers (so long as you are not in Shropshire !).

This all assumes that my self build passes the SVA .... yikes

Tony.

I hope the bride doesn't have a long train, I assume you're the driver?

Sounds like a bit of fun, bit a bit wedding singer/4W+1F like!

I think the call is really for a _3_ seater Ultima!!!

Hi Peter,

Yes, I'm the driver. The insurance is on a pay as you go (or wed) basis in addition to the main policy (with Hegarty, although the wedding hire is a separate department). From memory it is about £ 50 a go, assuming cover rates haven't changed.

Yes, a three seater Ultima would be ideal. My two sons are already arguing about who gets picked up from school first !

Regards

Tony.

Hi Chewy,

Idea was shortlisted 12 months back from three possible money saving ideas I had. I've done some wedding work years back in another car I had and thought the GTR would be unusual and eyecatching, even if a little impractical. But it's not why I've built it - I've wanted one since Ted took me out 6 years ago and have been saving / selling kidneys & souls ever since.

The two yellow Ultima's look great - who wants an old rolls when you can arrive in an Ultima (*) !

Regards

Tony

(*) My missus veto'd my own request for our own wedding - we had a jowett javelin instead of the massive engined 1920s le mans racer I wanted. Something silly about having to jump over the side doors in a long wedding dress ... women eh ? smile

So Tony, statistically speaking, how many souls and kidneys do you have to sell to afford an Ultima? smile
