Beetles needed for a friends wedding - PICS ADDED

Hey guys

A friend of mine is getting hitched on the 3rd of September, and he mailed me this morning saying his wife-to-be would like to be driven to the wedding in a beetle.

I think Original beetles would be perfect, and he did say they would need 2. There are 3 bridesmaids.

It is being held at De Oude, Welgemoed.

Can any of you guys offer your services to him?
Also, let me know how much you will charge for this so I can tell him, so he can tell his financial director to say whether or not they can afford it and whatnot.

Trying to clarify time the vehicles are needed, where the collection of the seatcovers will take place and whatnot.

I think, if there is a 'vert available for the bride, that would be sweet.

Okay.
More details

Girls to be collected in Plattekloof (10 minutes away for De Oude) at 15:30 on 3 Sep.
Cars to hang around till around 18:00 for photos.


After that, they can promptly leave to return to their garages.

Seriously, anyone willing to help out?

Hey there Mince,

We at Grand Slam have a beetle for you and if you are well behaved I will try to (with what I think will be successful) organise a KUBEL WAGEN for the bride to arrive in!!!!! Just a thought..... I also have a GREAT idea for the car that the bride and groom should leave in.....

A Beautiful beetle with roof rack on, Original Beetle suitcases on, and tin cans trailing........ A good old classic scene for the departure to fit with the arrival theme???? It will cost petrol money for the vehicles only!! We will bribe the owners with free services etc. etc. :)

You can call me on 082 763 1111

Best regards & we hope that we can make your buddy's day a HUGE success!!
