Option One:

A Works kit for my Cooper S (bet ya didn't see that coming

)

Option Two:

Provide food for 60 guests at our forthcoming wedding reception.

Personally, I'm torn... how about you?

hhmmmm, how much cash could you spend on the MINI if you cancelled the wedding?

andrewcfm · Feb 9th, 2004, 08:41 PM

Let the guests feed themselves i say!

£500 on a Vegas wedding

£3000 on your car

dietcokeplease · Feb 9th, 2004, 08:43 PM

Just blame it on the non-existent caterers and send out for fish n chips.

Lets just say I'd need a bigger driveway...

Charge £5 a head and do both.
That'll accomplish 2 things.
You'll lose all the dead weight that comes just for the food & drinks and you'll pick up some spending change.

Honest answer. You better do what makes the future Missus happy.

pappillon · Feb 9th, 2004, 08:50 PM

just who are you really in love with anyway ???

AidenL · Feb 9th, 2004, 08:50 PM

I think the wedding may not last long if Option 2 gets selected ?

MiniAdventurer · Feb 9th, 2004, 08:55 PM

being the romantic, i think you HAVE to spend it on the wedding. when i saw the poll i thought u meant just any old meal, but noooo if it is the wedding then you must keep the missus happy (or there will be no wedding). on the other hand, if you are looking for a quick break up...

Mate - I've just got married Jan 10th and had and awesome day - Just looking at MCS's and thats and awesome experience as well. Which ones better, can't say..... the Missus is looking over my shoulder (Go for the works kit)!!!

stuartkey · Feb 9th, 2004, 09:00 PM

obehave: Nice idea, especially if I invoiced everyone after the event! Oh how they would laugh!!!!

pappillon: Now don't go there. You should know NEVER to make a man choose between his car and... er... whasser name.

Aiden: I doubt we'd even make it to the "I do"!

I guess I'm just going to have to work harder so I can do both. Anyone want a website doing? Got to charge ya top dollar unfortunately... wedding and works to pay for!

ABG · Feb 9th, 2004, 09:45 PM

Perhaps the answer is to put the price of the works kit down under "honeymoon expenses" or "travel costs". Weddings cost so much I doubt an extra £3500 slipped in there would be noticed!

dietcokeplease · Feb 9th, 2004, 09:52 PM

Stuart,

You need to insist that the brides father pays for the whole shebang.

Oh yes,,, the good ol' days.

KenL · Feb 10th, 2004, 07:06 AM

Get the works kit.

Weddings are a waste of money. When me and my wife got married it cost £40. My mum didn't speak to me for a few months though !!!

EBMCS03 · Feb 10th, 2004, 08:06 AM

Oh option 2 is a wedding? LOL I was like what the heck is option 2??

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.
