Wedding Car Help.

[P6UL K]

Hi all,

Not really used this forum much - Just been looking for quite a while but now alas the time has come for a proper thread...

I had recently tried to secure a red Ferrari F430 F1 Spyder for my best mates wedding but unfortunately the owner can't do this date, my friends wedding is on Sunday 18th September and I've promised to organise a wedding car for his special day, now the venue he is getting married at doesn't need the wedding car in the whole sense of the word because the castle has its own accommodation on site so there will be no need to ferry the groom to the church from a hotel.

All i need the car for is as a centre piece for the photos that will be taken... Confetti, throwing of the flowers etc... The back drop to this castle is amazing! http://www.lympnecastle.com/

In return i will cover their fuel and near-by accommodation for the night of the wedding and of course their invited to the reception as is their partner unless of course you are nice and local and live in Kent.

Hope no-one thinks I'm being cheeky by asking, but you don't ask, you don't get... thats my moral!

I'm really unsure what car/s to go for, I've tried asking his fiancée for an idea of his favourite car but i get a blank look lol

Going on my knowledge:

Audi R8 V10 (Him & Her)
Ferrari F430 F1 Spyder (Him & Her)
Chevrolet Camaro (Him)
Dodge Charger (Him)
Rolls Royce Phantom Convertible (Their favourite)


Can anyone offer some advice or am i completely barking up the wrong tree?

Cheers.

If you are only using it as a backdrop for the wedding photos drop me a mail as I may be able to help.

I don't blame you for asking. In my experience, many people with great cars are often happy to share them.

That is an incredibly rude and unhelpful response.

"THERE ARE LOADS OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE THE F430 IN STOCK FOR THAT DAY....HIRE ONE....TRAMP!!!"

An invite to a strangers wedding is not my idea of fun, unless you get first call on the bridesmaids (If they are fit that is)

It's bad enough having to go to friends/family weddings let alone a strangers. You would be known as the "flash prick with the expensive car" no doubt...

Here is a deal for you... I have a 328 GTS and am also an ex full time pro wedding photographer (I now publish books on it).

Get me the gig to shoot the wedding (I am in Kent and know PL well) and you can use the car for free as I will drive it there.

Just a thought. PM me if interested.

Hi David,

Thanks for the very kind offer but all that side of it is sorted with regards to photography etc... This is my duty to sort as all the other bits the bride and groom have sorted out.
