Default limo Cossie??

Anyone remember seeing this at Central Day at Santa Pod 2007?




It did draw some attention when it chugged in.

I took a few pictures of it when I was there it did look amazing just standing right next to it, I did have a good look inside as well the only thing I didn't like was the black bonnet but I have never seen anything like that before very shocking, have to say the owner has dropped a nice looking one off gangster cossie limo

I think they've actually done a pretty good job of that.

Looks better than I would have thought possible for a saff limo.

BUT, thats only saying it looks shit rather than really shit if you get what I mean!

I HATE any limos, they all look cheap and tacky as fuck.
Years ago the rich and famous used them, now its some bird going to the local nightclub for her 18th.
That just reinforces it even more!

If I won the lottery I would buy 3 mint rs500's, and cut the centre sections out of 2 and weld it into the other one.

Not cause I want a rs500 limo, I think it would be shit, but it would be worth the 50K just to annoy the logbook obsessed brigade who are so convinced a 500 is so much better than a 3 door of the same spec, by having 3 on one car

The white one looks spot on, the blue one, a bit too bling to look good.

Love it or Hate it
The amount of attention it grabs

Yes its me cousins car and considering what it was picked up for and how it looked at the time, what the heck why not make it into a cossy. He's just in the process of finishing the 2wd yb lump conversion into it something which we've all been looking forward to.

Oh well I've had my share of fun in it

I think it would look 100 times better if it had all the door pillers in black though. Just doesnt look right with the blue bits.
