i think they've been used quite a bit as hearse's, the funeral directors in brixton hill has one, but the other cars they use are older scorpios, was stuck in traffic next to one yesterday and i noticed a small baby size coffin mounted between the driver and passenger seat. i thought that had quite a sad meaning till the driver opened the lid and took a sandwich out!

My most embarrasing moment ocurred a few years ago on the M32 coming out of Bristol. I saw a black Scorpio (like mine) in front so (naturally) thought I'd burn past it. As I moved out to pass, there was another black Scorpio in front. Cool! As I floored it, I saw a 3rd Scorpio with a high top..... you can guess the rest.
I'll never forget the expression of the weeping lady in the rear Scorpio as she saw, what appeared to her to be a funeral car, belting off in the fast lane.
As cossieguy said, its the only way to go on that last journey. Consider it as a 'fly past' in honour.

As they say in the legal profession.......... Where there's a will.....There's a Stiff!!
I once had to go to a funeral at 6 AM.
I shouldn't have been there.
I'm not a mourning person.
