Years and many cars later, I was lucky enough to win a fast car experience day for my husband in a competition. He grabbed the chance to drive an Audi R8, Formula Renault and Lamborghini. The cars were stunning and he loved driving on a proper race track. I didn't have a go driving the cars myself but I enjoyed watching him race them. The Lamborghini design caught my eye, how fantastic was the fact that the whole door opens upwards. It also went faster than I thought any car could go too.
So when we got married, we decided the vehicle that would take us to the ceremony would have to be special. We chose a classic car as it felt romantic and I couldn't imagine getting out of a Porsche in my wedding dress!
A stunning classic car on our wedding day
My father in law has a very similar car, a Rolls Royce. He takes it out on the weekend but as the weather has been poor recently I couldn't get a photo of it as it's been in his garage for the Winter.
He makes sure his car is insured as basic car insurance won't insure classic cars. Classic car insurance is very important and due to the age of the car, he makes sure he has 24-hour breakdown cover too. It's not easy getting parts for a classic car so this makes perfect sense. He loves his car and it certainly is a crowd pleaser when he drives it along the prom in the summer in my little seaside town.
One day my husband hopes to have a luxury car like an Aston Martin or a Ferrari 458. I would be happy with a white Rolls Royce. I know we don't ask for much, do we?
