‘Seven’ Chauffeur required
I ask a favour of anyone in the Bristol – Dursley area with a road going ‘Seven’ style car (as mine is still on the workbench!!) in exchange for a
good evenings worth of beer tokens.
My son leaves school this year, and has his end of school ‘Prom’ on the 28th June.
I was looking for something a bit different for him to turn up at his Prom and thought that a ‘loud’ seven would make some heads turn, rather than the
raft of stretched limos which normally arrive, and also to give him a ‘controlled’ blat around the lanes beforehand.
I live in Thornbury and the Prom is in Berkeley, about 9 miles away.
Very much appreciated.
Danny
P.S. I would like to drive him there in it myself, but realise this may be asking a bit too much of a favour.

I've got an Indy in Bristol and may be able to help (have to check dates), but it's only a Pinto - you'll probably want a BEC for
the full effect including soundtrack!

I just did the very same thing THIS MORNING for a friend of mine. Her son was leaving today and asked me to chaffeur him to the school, revving the
engine, leaving long black lines on the school driveway and generally acting quite chavvy ...... well, it would have been rude to refuse
wouldn't it
Cheers,
Raz

Collected my daughter from school the other day - blocked the road with kids trying to get a look!
Fortunately none of them got run over!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

We didn't even think of doing stuff like that 'when I were a lad' On my last day I bunked off early as I couldn't wait to
leave the place

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks chaps, I would have liked to have finished off school in style as well, rather than just drift away, but ‘proms’ being relatively new, and one
of the better, imports.
He had better use the strongest hair gel, it would be a shame to have wasted all that time preening himself in the mirror (I’m only jealous ‘cause
I’ve lost mine).
Lots of offers ‘if only’ but so far looks like Matt is the only one local and with a complete car.
I just hope Matt is available on that evening.
Any more offers, just in case Matt can not make it.
Many Thanks
Danny
