Driving down the highway this morning, happened to come alongside a white stretch limo. After a few moments, the tinted window rolls down and this guy just stares at Tabby with his mouth open. I wave and smile and he looks at his limo and back at Tabby and gets a rather wistful look on his face. Yeah, I'd rather be in a Mini than a limo, too!

Then my husband says, hey, they make hummers into limos.....what would a Mini limo look like!

Wow - how cool would that be! Hummer limos seem wasteful, but a MINI limo would just be too awesome. I'm guessing Hummer fans would feel the same way about the hummer limos :smile:

Very cool story! :smile:

About the mini-limo..... i think that would kind of take the uniquity out of the car! I mean.. it's the smallest car sold in the US... if they stretch it... it turns it into the opposite of what it's known for! Although i do agree the idea is pretty neat..... but i think it's best to just keep it as an idea! LOL

Seen a couple of Classic Minis 'expanded' into Mini Limos. They look different. My sister took a pic of one this summer up in Oregon, I'll try to get it posted in Modified section.

That looks kinda cool, but it really does take away from the concept. Truthfully, who would actually rent it for a night out though. Theres not enough space for side seats or a bar or anything like that...

Cheers

There was a new Mini Limo at the MTV VMA's. I personally did not see it because I am one of the 10 people in America without cable, but my mother called and told me about it. I have been trying to dig up a picture of it online...if I find it I will post it!
