A car, a driver, and a time you can plan around.
The company is run from Crossways Village at Ascot, a few miles from Windsor and within easy reach of Heathrow. The work is private hire: airport runs, event days, and journeys where the point is to arrive unbothered and on schedule rather than to be impressed by anything.
A quotation depends on the route, the hour and the vehicle, so there is no price list on this page and nothing here is an offer. The address below reaches a person, and a short conversation settles more than a form ever does.

Four stones can lean a whole stone's length past the edge. Reaching four lengths takes one thousand six hundred and seventy-four.
Stack flat stones one on another, each pushed as far out as it will go, and the furthest the top one can reach is half of the harmonic series — a half, plus a quarter, plus a sixth, and so on. That sum has no ceiling, so in principle the overhang is unlimited; in practice it grows so slowly that every extra length costs roughly seven times as many stones as the one before. Drag the sliders and watch the price of ambition.
Thirty-one stones lean 2.014 lengths past the edge of the table. The thirty-second adds 0.016 of a length — and getting to two and a half lengths would take 83 stones in all.
The stack drawn to scale, bottom stone on the table edge. Each stone sits as far out as its own balance allows: half its length past the centre of mass of everything above it.
This is the classical single-wide stack, one stone per level, and the figures were checked against exact fractions rather than floating point. Allowing more than one stone per level does better — a known result puts the reach on the order of the cube root of the number of stones — but it is no longer the tower anyone builds on a beach.
Also from this company: Driftstone
One listing on Google Play, and nothing to do with the cars. Driftstone is a quiet balancing game: a stone drifts above a shore, you tap to drop it, and the cairn leans a little further with every one you add. No connection, no sign-up and nothing sold inside it.
