We plan to only run 1950's American cars. We have a 1952 Buick Straight Eight at the moment. She's being joined by another American 1950's sedan in March and we will run with two cars all summer and see how we get on. If it goes well the plan is to bump it up to 4 cars over the next couple of years - hopefully including a convertible but they are megabucks.Last edited by Lockhouse; 29 January 2010, 09:42....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Stay suited and booted, if that's how you normally do things.Originally posted by OrangeHopper View PostActually I have a dilemma. I will be working for the Indian outsourcer and, unless they are a "higher up", they can't afford a more formal style of dress. However, I will be on site with my ex colleagues who do dress more formally. Since I'm to be the liaison between the two, do I go casual or formal?Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Sounds pretty, can I hire one to drive round in though I am not getting married?Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostWe plan to only run 1950's American cars.

She's beautiful. But then I'm biased. You can only hire her if I drive - I had to take my taxi test to get licensed.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostSounds pretty, can I hire one to drive round in though I am not getting married?...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Since I am too late and Thatcher isn't around I actually have to earn money to buy the house

Lockhouse, where is the most demands, like:
British cars from the 30's
American cars from the 50s
British cars from the 50s/60s/70s/80s ?
Thinking from the IT perspective would it be good to have three cars, redundency ?
What does it cost to hire such a vehicle for a wedding and what is the general hire period, eg, a typical wedding needs the car for 1.5hrs plus there is travelling time to the wedding, can you charge for travelling to the wedding and how many weddings can you get in per day ?
will it be only weddings or anyone can hire a chauffeur driveen yank tank from the 50s ?

Good luck, glad to hear you're not clogging the streets with yet another ghastly stretch Hummer.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Saturday - MrsF's birthday. Take girls to ballet, get food shopping, out for lunch with her mum and sister. Relaxing afternoon as family entertain the children.
Sunday - watch Federer thrash Murray in the final. No other plans.Comment
