Stretch Limos - Armstrong Sid

I know there are stretched versions of many cars, used to transport hordes of screaming women on hen nights

I've seen stretched Hummers, Chryslers, Mercs and other unidentifiable creations.

But I've just seen my first stretched Porsche Cayenne. One of the ugliest vehicles on the road made even more unbalanced and distorted.

Is there any limit to peoples' bad taste?

I have heard it said that "nothing good ever came out of a stretch limo". I tend to agree.

I can never work out how these things get round the construction and use regs, let alone the question of aesthetics ....

I saw an X5 stretch some months ago and it was ugly. The problem is that a limo used to mean a vehicle with (usually) three rows of seats, be it a Rolls, Mercedes, VDP or similar. They were used for formal occasions, weddings, funerals, etc. Now they they have become those OTT Lincolns and Hummers full of hen parties and the like. Sadly OTT and over here!
