Penny's right; it is very smart but I guess could be a little intimidating if you weren't feeling very well!
Years ago, we spent a couple of nights in Ostend, Belgium in a hotel with no car park where you had to take pot luck on the streets nearby. The first night, the nearest available space was right in front of a British registered Daimler hearse. Nobody (and no body) in it but it was quite dusty and travel stained and the registration made it around 25 years old. We were intrigued to spot a sticker in the rear window proclaiming it to be a member of the Classic Hearse Register which, even as vintage vehicle enthusiasts, we'd never heard of. We saw the same car parked nearby on the second night but we never saw the owners. After we got home, I checked out the Classic Hearse Register and was fascinated to discover there is a whole sub set of classic car enthusiasts out there, owning and preserving old hearses!
