Default My dad’s funeral convoy - can you help?

Hi, my dad was a member of this forum for years, he was a mechanic and had a few Subarus, 3 I think. He still has one which needs cleaning up a bit and a few things doing to it which we hope to do so we can drive it at his funeral. He hadn’t driven it in a while as he was obviously feeling very poorly but didn’t say. We found out he had stomach cancer on 27 March and then his stomach perforated, he had sepsis and an emergency operation on 29 March, they said he probably wouldn’t survive the operation and then they said the next few days, he made it until yesterday 2 August. He was the biggest car fan ever and we really want to make his funeral special, he was only 55. We would be beyond grateful if any of you who drive a Subaru or any other nice car, (he was known as VW Pete a long time ago and repaired and restored many) would be happy to do a convoy on his journey to the Manchester crematorium or just come and drive past my house (in Denton) when he is here. We don’t have a funeral date and time yet but if you think you might be able to help, please let me know. Thank you in advance. X

Sorry to hear of your troubles would gladly oblige but we are a long way away in Ireland.
Sorry.
Best wishes.
