Default Wedding Cars: What NOT to do..

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...006301,00.html

Good points:

- 4 wheels, engine, will probably make it to ceremony
- Possibly no hire fee

Bad points:

- Sunflower yellow LH Torana
- Tacky numberplates
- Car implicated in a child's murder
- Possibility of bloodstains on wedding dress

Possible Improvements:

- "Dingo" sticker on back windscreen

Actually, it would've been better if they'd used crime scene tape instead of white ribbon on the bonnet...

That's just plain....odd.

The number plates are even more odd....even distasteful.

The family became well known because of the suspicious death in their family and now they are seeming to embrace the notoriety, even cash in on it. Surely they would have been paid for that little story.

good luck to them. the son has grown up with a classic torana, so why would he not have affection for it. it seems without a doubt that his sister was taken by a dingo, so the fact the car was tested for her blood means nothing. the car was part of an investigation that was "finally" given a not guilty verdict. if the parents are not guilty, then the car is not guilty - no wrong doing was done in it. it is just another torana
