Business opportunities from your vehicle?

[Simon813]

I currently have an Elise but would dearly love to own a Ferrari 355 / 348 before I have to think about weddings and kids in a couple of years time.

Financially I could just about afford to buy a 348 outright or about 60% of a 355.

Does anybody have any ideas of how I could make the car work for me, probably to cover its running costs, whilst I pay for any outstanding loan from my disposable income.

I have already thought about-

Transporting grooms to weddings. Only problem with this is the lack of a 3rd seat for the best man? Would this put people off?

Hiring the car for photo shoots? Maybe for aspiring models wanting nice car to stand next to for photo shoots?

Using vehicle as advertising platform. Liveries to advertise new bars / nightclubs / shops etc. This would be on a pay per week type basis?

Any other ideas or people doing the same thing to finance their dream cars?

Thanks

Simon

Edited to add that I am in the North east (if that makes any difference to the viability of any of the above propositions?)

pps After confusion on another forum, I would like to add, that I am not asking people if they think I can afford it, I just want ideas on how to generate a bit of money from the car and make my ownership experience a bit more "financially comfortable."

How about a service that just charges people for rides? If there was someone local to me that offered rides in their Ferrari at a reasonable price I'd probably take them up on it regularly.
