Hi all,

I am actually a Methodist Minister and we do have in Hartlepool the
motorcycle hearse, of course using horses is fairly standard as well.

I could tell you lots of stories. Anyway I have the deal of a lifetime;-

Weddings 10% Discount
Funerals (if booked before 30th December 2004) 35% Discount, you must
specify a date. Upto 3 years advance booking avaialble.
Baptisms, if the child arrives in a Land Rover (absolutely free)

Yours

Rev A Renshaw

I know which would rot fastest. And it ain't the corpse.

Oh if only I knew a certain persons release date.  Mind, 3 years may
not be long enough notice - with  luck will  be longer...

They also have a stand at the usual shows, observant people would have
noticed them at Billing and Peterborough.

Not for a while, if that's alright?

Can I nominate someone, though?  ;-)

Some Land Roveresque (101 biased), links available
from: http://links.solis.co.uk/Geek/X4_Land_Rover/
I also have a little Land Rover site biased toward
my beloved 101 "Grumble", at: http://www.101fc.net

Reading this in 'alt.fan.landrover'?  Did you know
there's a group FAQ: http://www.aflfaq.dyndns.info

Anybody know of any other wedding car companies that do Land Rover products.

Getting nagged to book transport now for the wedding!

Cheers
Dave

Telling the wife to be that the wedding costs would go a long way to buying
a Land Rover is not to be recommended...

How odd...

They sent me some leaflets today (addressed to the club).

One leaflet about their Wedding service.
Two about their Funeral service...

They know summat I don't???

As an aside, many years ago I went to a 'Goff Weddin' where all the
official vehicles were black hearses.  A few of us from the local m/c
club who had 'rat bikes' were invited to lead the cavalcade.

The Bride and groom both wore black, with black make-up.  The evening
entertainment was a Rocky Horror type tribute show - kin odd do that
was.  ISTR 'going awol' with one of the bridesmaids who, IRL turned
out to be a Legal Secretary for a well known Law firm!

A friend once wore white to a funeral -- the widow was Chinese and that
is the custom of that culture.
