I don't know what he expected. He'd parked the bloody thing in one of the busiest bus lay-bys in Southend town centre.

I quite enjoyed it.

I've got an angle grinder they could use. 

The car's already a cut-n-shut after all.

There is a certain mentality to wantingt o hire a Hummer Limousine...

Swindon is probably quite appropriate.

We have one locally that is a nuisance. It can't park anywhere except on pavements because the driver "doesn't do" car parks, can't manage roundabouts or corner and just generally crap driving.

If being  driven poorly and then dumped on a pavement 50 yards from your destination is your idea of a style statement then as I said a certain mentality is required.

Boobs?

Not in Swindon.

That would be camel toe cheese imprints there, that would.
It is simpler than it looks.

I'll have to hunt out a photo, but the limo we were in in Las Vegas was bigger (higher and longer) than the Hummer Limos alongside ;D

CO2 per passenger mile isn't too bad though.

I saw one on Saturday.  It will probably come as little surprise to seasoned Dun Runners that it was in Epping.

Watching one trying to insinuate itself through the streets around Borough Market was one of the few pleasures of working in the Nut Mines...

They've all come up/in from Essex and Surrey, full of slappers and tw*ts on the p*ss.

Bllody things should be banned - most of them are imported from the US when they're at the end of their working lives and are deathtraps, both for their occupants and other road users.

I once had the profound, joyous pleasure of seeing an SUV completely wedged between two buildings in Carcassonne. The driver seemed to think sacrificing his wing mirrors would have seen him through. It wasn't sacrifice enough. Eventually (this was a spectator sport), he reversed out. Oh, my side panels.

Having crossed the Dartford Bridge around lunch time today, I witnessed a white "Thrifty" hire van find itself in the outermost lane and faced with a gauntlet of "Cars only" automatic barriers.

The driver realised his error right at the last minute and blocked his lane very nicely for me to nip in front of him with my £1.50 in small change.
