What hearse?

Finally get a chance to use these pics I took a while back, 2 transporters both fully loaded with brand new hearses and the odd private ambulance. All Mercs I think. Just a strange sight on the M6.....

Before this I was about to ask, sure it wasn't a Ford Fairlane/Falcon... but... blimey.

I love the Falcons, IMHO look a lot smarter than anything else that springs to mind. Not sure what coachwork, but the last funeral I went to had Falcons and they were very understated yet sleek looking vehicles.

Last year I had a big shock and needed surgery/chemotherapy... in case it didn't go to plan, this was what I asked my family to do for me. I wanted my friends to have a smile instead of a sob.

Thankfully- as you've probably guessed- the surgery/chemotherapy *did* go to plan, and touch wood it'll stay that way.

My dad passed away nearly four years ago. He owned a recovery company for 20 years, and one of his wishes was to put the coffin on the back of our tilt slide transporter.

In the end, I just couldn't do it. Instead I transported all the flowers to the crem on the back and organised with the help of local recovery companies, a fleet of tow trucks behind the hearse.

That with the 510BHP V8 SC would be pretty awesome if the Quattroporte wasn't available

Anyone know what Enzo Ferrari's last ride was in? Or Ayrton Senna's?

Senna's state funeral was in the movie I watched on Sunday, he had pride of place on the back of a fire truck.

Nor does the cyclist sweat or eat anything but home-grown food.
