Hi all,

I am planning my wedding for 3rd September this year and would love to turn up to the church in a Ferrari. I was looking into hiring one until another Piston Head recomended I post something here. I cannot really use the car as I am going to have enough on my hands and mind, and not too many taxi drivers use Ferraris, so I was hoping someone here could help me out.

I have loved Ferraris for as long as I can remember and have yet to have a drive in one. I was brought one of the gift packs to race a 355 round a track but was told I was too tall (when wearing a helmet) to do it! GUTTED!

If there are 2 very kind Ferrari owners on here that would not mind heading over to Windsor to give myself and my best man (also a complete Piston Head) a 5-10 minute ride down to the Church in Bray, it would make the whole ordeal of getting married a lot more bearable.

Naturally I am willing to cover any fuel expenses and throw in a bottle of bubbly to say thanks.

Gi_Jnr runs a Wedding car type thing with his 360 & Murcielago (www.tangentperformance.co.uk/)

drop him a line, don't think he offers a free service but he seems like a nice guy

If you'll settle for a lowly old 348 rather than a 360 spider or a Mercie, I'll gladly run down and help you out mate

That's the PH spirit - I would offer too but Goole to Windsor

You could also try ferrarichat.com and say we sent you. there are a lot of those guys in and around London and I'm sure that as long as the bridesmaids are good looking you might get someone

Thank you s11eps, you are a gentleman. I will gladly settle for the 348! It will be great and infintley better than a rudelatesmelly taxi!

If you ever have an urge to catch a lift anywhere on the back of a GSXR600 or whatever it is upgraded to once I need some more power, just say the word.

How do you want to work it, shall I PM you my email address and we can sort details that way?

Any other kind offers as the best man will be walking otherwise.

if you were in Yorkshire then my 360 would gladly be at your disposal, but bit too far for me im afraid.

Hope it all goes well !

simonspider on here does a wedding service too but in a Lambo Murcielago. Website IIRC is www.simplyitalian.co.uk

He is based in the North though so may be a bit far away

I've been in GI's 360spid and I have to hand it to the man, it is absolutely gorgeous

Totally recommend Gi too as he's in this to help pay for his toys and he runs a very professional service and due to his experience, does the full on photoshoot etc.

Very good if you ask me

Adam,

Drop me a line if you like the look of any of my cars/haven't managed to sort anything. Of course, a PHer discount will apply...

PS: Thanks for the kind words from everyone, they're appreciated.
