As we were driving by a stretch Hummer the other day, my 10 year-old asked if there is such a thing as a stretch MINI.




I said, why would anyone ever do that to a poor defenseless MINI?!

Now I know better.

I used to work with a guy who owned a limo company and I had suggested (a couple of years ago) that he should do a Mini conversion. He didn't take my advice, but instead he bought a Ford F350 Dually which had been converted into an ENORMOUS limo...it's really pretty cool!

At any rate, it's really interesting to see what a limomini (minimo? minimosine?) looks like.

All I can say is wow.

Every limo company should have one. I would like to rent it for my 15 year wedding anniversary.

It surprises me as to what they can do..But if they turned a Hummer into a stretch, why not a MINI?

I was wondering when a mini-limo would pop up...

I've never understood the whole hot tub factor on limos though...
