Default Hiring a car for the wedding - ideas?

I'm looking at hiring a supercar for me and Chris to get to Priory Hall.

I am looking at a supercar (obviously) lol! But as I will only need it for literally an hour/two hours at the most, paying for a whole day seems stupid.

Should I bite the bullit and fork out £600-£800 on a car for an hour or two, or just go in the Volvo?
Before any FB friends suggest the F27, think about the hair!

If anyone has any suggestions let me know

if youre looking for a supercar, you'll probably have to bite the bullet. if someone on here has one, they aint going to lend it out for 2 hours. lol. i wouldnt lend my scoob out let alone a hundred grand car.

You could always hire a not-so-super-car? but something performance a lot cheaper and for the whole day.

Carlh, I had a scoob this time last year, as much as I loved it, and miss it dearly, it's not the sort of car I'm after.

I wasn't expecting people to offer up their cars!! Lol.

Hysterical - most supercars only have two seats - so how's that going to work?

When is the big day - I can give you a ride

Trout - where will chris go?! Lol.

You are a bit to far away I think. A long way to travel just for a quick ride!

Any excuse for a drive out - however as you say - where would Chris go - I would have to take you one at a time.

Serious point though - you will have to drive yourselves.

A friend did this with and someone lent him a McLaren-Mercedes SLS!!

We got taxis, only cost a few £. Remember this is just one day in the rest of your lives, save the cash for a track day or something fun after the event that you can properly enjoy

You have a point there.

We have a track day car, it's just no good for this use.
