2A - PORT PERRY STAR - TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1990 Former baker trades in hat to start limo service Talk about different ways to make a living. One day not too long ago, Terry Rooke was working over a hot oven in his Feed Bin restau- rant. But he's traded in his bak- er's hat for a top hat, and these days you'll find him weaving his way through traffic behind the wheel of a luxurious, pure- white Lincoln "stretch" limo. Terry and his wife Carolyn, who operates Best of Things Florist in Port Perry have re- cently started T and C Limou- sine Service. And while she takes care of business in the shop, Terry is out on the road driving clients wherever they may want to go: be it a trip to the airport or a night out on the town. For a fee, of course, those who rent the Lincoln limo will Debra Surman honoured as Junior Citizen (From Page 1A) The awards winners and their families were guests for the weekend at the Toronto Hil- ton of the OCNA and Canadian Air Lines. Debra said she was very impressed with the awards cer- emonies and the honour of be- ing selected one of 12 Ontario Junior Citizens for 1989. 1 HOUR Photo Processing FREE 2nd SET of PRINTS Upon presentation of this advertisement RJM Quality Prints PORT PERRY "985-8821 INSTANT PASSPORTS travel in style. Included with the service is complimentary champagne and arose for the ladies. The limo seats six in com- fort in the facing back seats of burgundy leather. And just in case conversa- tion lags, there is a colour TV, radio, VCR, and a phone. "Our specialty is weddings, return trips to Toronto Airport, and nights on the town, just about anywhere," Terry told the Star last week. Though the limo service is just now getting started (Scu- gog Township granted a licence last week) Terry said there have been numerous call and enquir- ies, and with spring and sum- mer just around the corner, sev- eral wedding parties have already been booked. Actually, T and C has a two car fleet; the 24' stretch Lincoln which is popular for those "real- ly special occasions," and a stan- dard size Lincoln Town car very suitable for trips to the airport or business functions. Service is door to door. For the night on the town, Terry will pick you up at your door, drive in comfort to Toronto (or elsewhere) be there to pick you up and bring you home. As for wheeling a 24' long limo through city traffic, Terry says "others drivers seem to give me a bit more room. They don't cut me off very often." Perhaps those other driv- ers don't know who might be sit- ting hidden from view behind those smoked glass windows. Both Lincolns are available on a flat rate basis or an hourly rate. Terry says he's enjoying this new line of work, and has no regrets about trading in his- baker's hat and apron for the white gloves, black jacket and cap. And besides, driving a lux- ury limo has to be more fun that slaving in front of a hot oven, any day, or night. RS Tn .
