Dilemma

[Fran]

Just worked it out - extra £300 in petrol money. Oh bugger it!

Still cheaper than actually OWNING one for a few days!!!!  Maybe you could 'sell' rides down the Mulsanne........ (I'd give ya 50 cents) ....

[Lord Steve]

Now there's a thought Fran although the insurance company might have something to say about offering rides "for reward". Mind you, I don't think 50 cents counts as a reward cheapskate!!!!!

I don't think it will be at all safe at the circuit - my driveway is a much better option.

[Lord Steve]

You're on!

Not to put too much of a dampener on things but how good a client is he? And will he still be a client if you come back with a wing hanging off?

[termietermite]

And you've got to do the Cavalcade now, of course!

You could easily recoop that by raffleing it of at the DfH do.  If you went about it the right way I reckon you do get at least £900 that would be £300 for Petrol, £300 for Charity and the other  you could give to the client.      Thus everyones a winner.

Well, as clients go he's worth circa £23m. What's a Bentley wing amongst friends?

Do you mean raffling it for someone to take home with them or just for rides around the MB campsite?
Taking it back with a few scuff marks is one thing - not taking it back at all may raise a few client / supplier issues!!!!!

[LangTall]

My guess is he means raffling it for rounds around Steve.

[Lord Steve]

That's OK then - means I'll have to stay sober though! Unlikely I have to say, especially if you are favourable towards granting me a wristband for the DfH friday party..........

Take it home of course.      You do need to make the deal attractive to the Punters.    A bit of smooth talking and 300 notes should  keep things running quite smothly.

Lord Steve - nice one.

I looked at some exotic rentals to pick-up in Paris for 4 days.  The cheapest GT was about 3 1/2 K (Euros) per day with a 75K deductible, so your 3 hundo in gas money looks quite nice about now.

Is he a good enough friend/customer that if the unthinkable happens, he'll still be either?

Looking forward to your post-trip write-up and pics, of course!
