Chauffeuring

The Rearview Mirror

Not looking to give away my age here so let’s just say I wasn’t born yesterday. Ok I’m old enough to have been to young to view in the theater James Bond staring Sean Connery. Classic films, classic actor and always a beautiful automobile.

Like classic automobiles, chauffeuring was also a gig to be proud of. Something of an art form. Much of that today has been lost and not only because of ride sharing services, many just don’t appreciate the service. Personally speaking I enjoy being behind the wheel of a luxury automobile and while doing so, providing a comfortable ride for my guests. For those of us who appreciate the experience, it isn’t just our job or business we’re handling, it’s a pleasure.

The very first chauffeuring position I held was in Westchester NY. Vehicle of choice for the limousine industry was of course the Lincoln Town Car. Until Ford’s 2011 discontinuation of the vehicle, the Town Car had been an institution for over thirty years. Not the right decision by the auto manufacturer by any means.

July 2020 will mark eleven years I’ve been serving the Austin area, want to guess which vehicle I operated for the first four years of that service? You guessed right. Since then I’ve driven the BMW 750Li and Mercedes S550. Both machines handle well, both a pleasure for the driver and clientele.

Should you find yourself looking to explore Austin, the Texas Hill Country or any of the surrounding Texas areas, give me a call.

Cheers! - Lawrence
