I know this is unlikely to work, but here goes ...

I'm getting married in August 2002, and decided to do something different with the wedding cars. Rather than being chauffeur driven away fro the church, I thought it would be really special to drive to the reception in my dream car. Unfortunately, my dream car is an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, and they're not too easy to get hold of.
What I'm asking is, does anyone out there have a V8 vantage, which I could borrow for the drive. We could work out some recompense for the owner, and I'd obviously sort out the insurance, etc. myself. I would only actually need to drive it for about 10 miles, from Congleton to the reception in Holmes Chapel, although, obviously if you wanted me to pick it up, and deliver it back to you, this would be fine.
If anyone out there is feeling exceptionally kind, please send me a mail, and we can talk about the possibilities.

Regards,
James

So how was the wedding, given that it was a few months ago now? :-)

I'm glad you're paying attention!
OK, so maybe it's August 2003 then.

Oh in that case you can have mine. After I have won the lottery of course.

It is a long shot but you could try posting on the Aston Martin Owners Club forum at: www.amoc.org/index.html

To answer the last two messages:
Thanks for the advice about the AMOC, I have posted there too.
I've seen a few hire places that'll do it, but I'll only be 25, and that seemed to get rid of most of them. I think the only decent one I could find, that'd hire to a 25 year old was in London, so that's a no-no. If anyone knows of anywhere nearer to Cheshire, I'd love to hear about them.

Cheers
James
