Title: Wedding car for car nut - next Friday in Colchester
Post by: SRC on May 19, 2015, 09:21:50 pm
Due to a complete lack of organisation in my role as best man, I'm looking for ideas from everyone on here.  I am taking my best mate from his house in Colchester, Essex to his wedding ten miles away in Feering (what a good place to get married).  The big day is next Friday, 29th May.

Clearly, he could do no better than sitting next to me in my mk5 GTI.  However, I thought it might be good to use something a bit different.  I've looked at the usual classic car websites for something different (not a white Rolls Royce) but it's hundreds of pounds for a ten mile drive at most.

So, does anyone know of an owner of an interesting car in Essex / Suffolk with an hour or so to spare next Friday, who might want to give a couple of nervous blokes a lift?

I got married last weekend and didn't care how I got to venue. I was first there along with best men so no one would see me anyway. Just made sure the bride and bridesmaids arrived in style.

Mate just give your car a really good clean inside and out so it looks nice, he'll probably be so preoccupied he won't notice. Anything decent is going to cost a few hundred quid so unless you can find someone willing to help you out for beer tokens just give yours a clean. The beauty of a gti is it looks good everywhere  :happy2:

My Wedding car was a Seat Ibiza as the wedding car broke down 2 miles from where it was supposed to pick me up. To be honest I didn't really care as I was more concerned about getting to the venue.

Yep, as above dont bother!

I was really hung over on the way to my wedding and just wanted to get out of the car!
Better coughing up for a dirty stripper for him the night before.  :happy2:

I can understand,u want the groom to arrive in style
But....the best thing u can do is make sure he's there and both in a coherent able state,the bride(and her parents)will only be interested in that. Horse,bus,taxi,truck,car............BE THERE

Thanks, all.  You were right - he didn't care what we went in.  He'd been pacing a rut in the carpet waiting to leave and it was pi$$ing down anyway.  I gave my car a three-hour clean and two coats of polish (which probably caused the monsoon).
