Smile Falcon Rental

Hey,

not sure exactly how to go about this, but does anyone know where one could hire a recent model GT falcon or XR8/6T for use in a wedding? I've been looking through rental sites and they really only offer the euro cars etc.

we're looking at hiring for a day preferably. location around campbelltown to wollongong, NSW.

Can't say I have seen GTs or XRs are rental cars .. usually just base model Falcons ... and for Weddings ... the limo companies that offer different cars have a chaffeur to drive their vehicles around ... as I doubt they trust just anyone off the street to drive' their vehicles.

You could ask on here if others are will to drive their vehicles for you at the wedding.

Go to a Ford dealer and ask for an extended (overnight) test drive of GT/XR6T :-P

Theres a limo company around that has a stretch Fairlane limo with 19" spinners on it if thats your thing....

Perhaps offer a forum member to borrow thier car with a nice "gift" in return.

thanks for the info guys.

the hertz xr6 would have to be a last resort, we wanted a ford that would stand out (GT?) and have considered some XY's, but i prefer the BA.

is there any forum members with a GT/XR8/6T who would lend or drive us? we'd be paying of course.

a cousin did offer us one of his mustangs (chauffered) but we were needing room for 4 (+1 driver).
