    Why do some women think these add a touch of class to their hen night/Debs/21st etc? They are the height of tackyness imo and that novelty horn makes me want to punch the windows in.

    A stretched limo is an up-market Hiace.

    Stretch limos, hummers, etc are soooo tacky and passé...
    There is only one classy way to roll these days.

    If you've got a big important event to attend.
    If you want to make an arrival that spells out sophistication and class.
    Then maybe you can hire, the A-Team van.

    I believe that the Celtic Tiger proved that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭Borneo Fnctn


    I've seen stretch limos that have ads for the company on the back. If they were tacky anyway, this brings a new level to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Personally haveing been in one I think they are noting special but if it improves your chances of getting her drunk and hence a roide why the hell not!

    But it beats arriving at your wedding on a horse and cart on a p1ss drenched irish day!m or arriving at your debs in a ford fiesta!

    It only works out abot 50 euro each sure the taxi costs that!

    Saw a pink hummer limo parked at a church - it was for first communion!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,547 ✭✭✭✭Poor Uncle Tom


    It's either a sulky or a stretch limo, there's no in between.

    Stretch limos? Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacky.

    Yes, I can imagine driving one of them, with the roof down and the hydraulics at full blast.

    Never seen a low rider round here in Ireland before :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    The tackiest I've seen is one of the local porn stars here in Hamburg. She drives around in a pink lamborghini with her website on the side. It's a sight :eek:

    A little off topic but for my debs I couldn't afford to hire out a limo, and I missed to school bus that was going out to it. So I had to get a taxi to the place which was all the way in Meath. Needless to say, and hour and a half later, here I am in a taxi pulled up next to the place that was holding the debs, with people from my school watching me as I paid the taxi driver. Course It didn't really matter, because it turned out to be a pretty good night.

    Anyway yeah I agree, I hate seeing strech limos driving around with people thinking their so cool in them. Little do they know that nobody would give a damn about them if the limo they were in blew up. Well maybe a few but still

    I saw one at a few years ago & a little girl in a white dress got out, obviously her communion.

    The family, all pikeys, were going into a local restaurant for the meal.

    The limo had pulled up outside Supermacs. I nearly wet myself laughing :pac:


    EDIT: It was a limo, not a stretch Hummer. If it was a Hummer then it would have been classy :D

    The A-Team van is totally awesome, obviously.
    Still, I'd imagine it would take some top class negotiating tactics to get a bride to agree to pull up outside the chapel in one.
    May as well go the whole hog at that stage, dress the groom as Face, the bride as that annoying Amy reporter bird who wouldn't feck off.
    I guess the priest would have to be Hannibal and the best man would have to be Murdoch.
    Leaving the bride's maid to be B.A. of course.

    If the A-Team van doesn't cut it you could always go for the Mystery Machine

    This one's pretty lame. There was a much better one on eBay a couple of years ago.
    I bid 3k on it when I was totally wasted one night, talk about a lucky escape.

    Theres always one to mention it, isn't there.

    Ah, limo's are tacky, but when you're 18, who really has an idea what class is?

    And if they're having fun, why is it an afront to you? If they want to blow there hard earner (or dole money) on a fancy taxi, then why not? Its keeping the limo driver in beer money.

    The biggest mystery of all is why is there two Velma's in the publicity shot (never mind that one of them (I hope for his/her sake) is a bloke in drag)? :confused:

    It should be noted these are normally the same people who think getting married in the first place will add a touch of class to their "council house and 6 bastard children" lives in the first place.

    Well spotted sir.
    Incidentally, Daphne looks like she'd get it.
    In fact she looks like she is getting it, from Shaggy.

    Get this - was at a communion yesterday in an area well known for people of the travelling persuasion - there was a pink stretch Playboy limo. I sh1t you not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,816 ✭✭✭Acacia


    Just love the class snobbery going on here..."oh, these vulgar working classes, let them have their tacky limos, while I sit atop my high horse..."
