Michael you will be interested to know that the Co-op Funeral Service in Pontefract has both Scorpio stretched limos and a hearse still in use, with the enhanced head room for those of us with bigger heads or hats

Michael,
Try googling Co-op Funeral service, Pontefract.
Also if you ask Baz nicely, he may well have some piccies from Coleman Milne.
This is starting to get a bit dark, I think you need to go light on the Van Helsing DVD

I do indeed have some photos somewhere. I lost a lot in my 160gig hard drive disaster earlier this year but I did have back up DVDs of the whole drive but not had time to look through yet

Micheal, I hope you're not planning your final drive. It sounds a little like you are! It can't be anywhere near that time for you. I suppose the early bird catches the worm though. Or, the person still in good health secures a scorpio funeral.
I'm sure that phrase will catch on.

There is a company in Warrington with Scorpios as well. One of them is an ever rarer facelift limo!!

I must admit to being a little too busy running my business to be chasing hearses around Warrington asking for their phone numbers! |

The reason I wanted a couple of limos and a hearse is because they are Ford Scorpio,s and it would be interesting to see them - after all they are owned by Ford Scorpio owners and as such they are at liberty to attend and would be made most welcome.
I am in touch with the General Manager of the CO-op
( They probably own more than 80% of all Funeral Directors in UK - they just keep up the family names for tradition )
No pun intended - he is being very cooperative with my request to have part of his livery attend Weston 2005
He might even donate some discount vouchers ( for future use ) as a raffle prize

Oh boy... if you win these make sure you put them somewhere the relatives will find them....
Question: will they have a "use by date"?

Michael,
Obviously you disagree with Admins view that we should only use the meetings section for meetings promotion hence your April 1st post and now this one in seen by you.
Where exactly are you going with this?

In Michael's defence i think he is trying to make the WSM meet a success, All Scorpios for Scorpio enthusiasts, I do however admit this should be kept to the meetings section and the subject of WSM is a bit of an overkill, But as i say i think he is trying all the options.
Instead of pulling the bloke down why don't you take this meet on, I know i wouldn't like to take it on.

I don't doubt Michaels commitment to the Weston event and like you I would not wish to take it on, I also hope that it will be a happy and fun experience for all that go along.
However I can't seem to log on these days without finding another quirky Weston plug and it gets kind of wearing.
I guess the Meetings section is there so that we can get on with other stuff in other parts of the forum.
Maybe its just me, in which case you wont hear any more about it.
