Classic sounds good to me. On my wedding day i was stood outside my mams house waiting for the white rolls royce to come up the street. I heard a few loud cars and turned round and a few of my friends came up the street in a escort cossie a 3dr cossie and c RS2000 escort. The wife had it all planned as c suprise for me. I got took to the church in the escos and the other 2 Rs's followed.
