Default help to find a car for my sons prom..

Well time flies don't it? My son is going to his leavers prom on the 27th of this month and he has asked me to take him in RSty but unfortunately it's just not going to happen as spesh has tried his dambdest for me but due to circumstance out his control RSty won't be ready...


Still love you though matey...

So I'm after an alternative, I've looked on line for hiring a lambo (tbh would have been a convenient excuse to drive one...) but they are silly money to hire the day, I know people think sparkies do ok but not that ok...

Can anyone recommend a site/business/hire firm that I can approach to hire something a bit special for him, I want to get something special that is affordable, he's a good kid that never makes any demands of either me or er in doors

Or even other options I could try?????

Cheers folks
