Wedding cars
hello fellow wankers i mean brothers!!
so i'm getting married! (oh nos) now i really don't care about wedding cars.. i can rock up on the back of a donkey for all i care.. but the other side wants 2 x wedding cars. I've rang around a few places, they want something like $3000 for 4 hours for s***** 300c Chrysler.. any suggestions? i've got a few people i know who have old cadi's and impallas, chevs, but they are unreliable as they put it 'everything is forsale if they sell before the wedding then i can't help you" they were going to charge me $200 for the day! |

Don't do it. lay down the law, tell the b**** she is lucky your turning up and a donkey is fine. i spent too much on my wedding and just the other night i go the "now don't say i told you so, but we really could have used that money better".
although i can't help you too much on where to go(i think we paid $800 for our limo through an acquaintance of a company that double booked us or some such.) i can recommend instead of hiring the limo to take you to the ceremony, get the limo to take you from the ceremony to the reception, and just cruise around for your allocated 3hours or however long you have the limo for. drinking champagne in the back with your closest friends like a boss is one of the favorite parts of my wedding. |

I paid like $600 for a limo for our wedding for a few hours....
For $3k, they would be taking you for a ride, so to speak. |

Decide what cars you want, find a forum for that brand of car, approach a few people in the area. We had a number of people do that on the old forum I was on for my last car and usually they would charge you a couple of hundred bucks and an invite to the reception.
From what I understand it was quite a regular occurence on the Mini forums (although I never frequented there as I have not owned a mini since the early 90's) |

Way back when I got married in 2007 we hired a old style ford stretch for about 5 hours at around $700. This was basically for the ceremony and photos, we just went home in a normal car after the reception.

I've rang around a few places, they want something like $3000 for 4 hours for s***** 300c Chrysler.. How many "escorts" does this price include? And by god they must do some nasty stuff for that price ... Just hire a limo or two for a few hours and be done with it. If the other side insist on expensive wedding cars tell them to pay for it out of their own pocket. And grats and stuff. |

Hit up places like the Austin Healey club, quite often those clubs have members that do very cheap deals because they actually enjoy taking out and showing off their cars for events like weddings.
I'm sure there are heaps of other classic car clubs that would do the same too. |

What I did is I made wifey walk. She stayed at the venue the night before so she could get ready there then walked the 100m to were the wedding was. The we went to have the photos done in a limmo $200 and went back for the reception at the same place.

Lol for $3000, you could almost buy and register an old Jaguar or MG or something and have a car at the end of it.

For $3000 you could just about have an entire wedding if you were really thrifty.
|

Or you could skip the wedding and have a really nice holiday instead.
|
03:36pm 31/03/11 Permalink
Or you could get drunk and some strippers with mates.
+ 1 for the find the forum for the cars you want club etc .. I know on the forums I post on a lot of this goes on. Depends on car I guess ... |

Or you could skip the wedding and have a really nice holiday instead. This too. We've thought about eloping but the problem with that is that you have to come back to everyone who is pissed at you and then you have to go to the registry office and get married in Australia again anyway. |

You don't need a fancy car to get to the Registration Office on George Street FYI

Congrats! What kind of cars do you want? Jap/Euro/Aus?

Big Weddings are for fools.
A marriage is a contract, do you spend thousands getting mates pissed on any other contract deal ? |

zubzub, sounds like you need to tell the missus whats up.
wedding cars are a massive waste of cash, cash that should be put into buying and selling cars eh! |

Split a Hummer Limo with those crazy chicks that do laps around the city.

Hi everyone. I completely agree that the Hummer Limo or the 1920’s Merc would be a fantastic choice for hire during weddings or any other special occasions. I would also suggest the Chrysler 300 C stretch limousine. This luxury car designed to make a bold and classic statement can add spark to your wedding day or any special occasion in your life.

We used a hummer stretch for our yr 12 formal, was like $300/hr. Just to drive 40 minutes.
My bet would be to search a car forum like boost cruising, alot of guys on there have some nice wheels and are willing to do cashies for wedding etc. |

If you look at Hemerage's photo closely you'll notice he only has one arm. You will need to speak to his misses about that. I don't blame her honestly....n**** gotta eat.

I would also suggest the Chrysler 300 C stretch limousine. This luxury car designed to make a bold and classic statement can add spark to your wedding day or any special occasion in your life. > the only "luxury" car i can see in this spam list is the merc, since when did the mantle of luxury sink so bloody low, leather does not make it a luxury car, and on that, there is nothing in a 300 C that my 14yo fairmont ghia hasn't got, (ok, it has a single zone climate control) a 1950 rolls has more features of luxury than any of the cars listed in my post! if it is not too late, i had a mate that just hired a couple of audi's from a rent a car place, clean cars, nice enough to have happy snaps of the bride coming out etc, sure not "feature" cars for fancy arse photos, but they got the bride and bridesmaids there, got the wedding party back and did the job, (plus the father of the bride drove, which worked really well has he opened the rear door helped her out etc) far cheaper, while not looking cheap |
