Would it be bad form...

...to take a noisy Cerbie to a funeral?

It is my best mate's Dad's funeral this afternoon, and I can't decide whether taking the Cerb to the Cremation would be bad form.

His Dad wasn't particularly a motoring nut, but my mate is...

thoughts?

[SlvrCrb]

tricky one to call. What does the mate say?

[morebeanz]

He's rather thinking about the occasion, and I really want to support him rather than burden him with other things to think about.

in my opinion, without a doubt take it (unless your mate objects, though I cant see why he would, unless you put the thought into his mind). Drive it slowly, sensibly, keep the revs down, show respect to others and you should be fine. Dont start it up early, or arrive late, and I cant see any problems at all mate.

PS, Im sorry for your mate that he died

Thanks for the input chaps - I reckon the "take it sedately" approach works for me.

It may even cheer him up!

take it. afterall, its only a car, and it is in an appropriate colour

Tough call - I'd say take it, but park it well away.... the last thing you want is to attract everyones attention and change the mood of the funeral in general....

last thing you want is people remembering you by 'that bloke in the tvr at the funeral'....

I went to my friend Chriss's funeral in the chim,
I asked the same questions and was told by his girlfriend "it is what he would have wanted" so if you feel your mate would have wanted you to, then there is your answer.

Problem is, theres more people there than just the mate, so I'd be just a tad bit cautious... if yours bangs and pops or is de-catted, then I wouldnt recommend it personally....

Just try not to give anyone a heart attack on overrun...

[gazzab]

Surely the fact that you have to ask is enough to answer the question.....

[morebeanz]

Took it, was sensible, parked with everyone else...


...and got nothing but compliments, and "he would have liked that."
