Well thank f*** for that lol I was starting to think i was the only one that thought they were uncool lol,For ultimate style i rekon u gotta turn up in a Merc or Ferrari,No one can tell u any diffrent then,aslong as u dont keep driving past shouting out the window,Which will just make u look like a div,lol I should rlly post this in that Jeremy Clarkson thread but it Kinda goes with the Cool-Uncool theme lol I remember when they were doing the "Cool wall" on Top gear,Jeremy clarkson was dismising a Ferrari cant remember which one but i think it was the 360,He said it was uncool because someone called Ken Designed it,What sort of a reason is that when it looks that good.
I could'nt care if Frank skinner designed it lol whoever it was did a fine enough job.
Yes Jeremy Clarkson does a good job on Top gear,He is actually quite funny,But sometimes he gets it miles out..........
Wonder what he would think of all these Limo's!??

I feel dead uncool, it's like saying "me and me mates can afford £100 for it so we iz gonna show off we 'as £100 squid" IMO although I am sure it's cool for the people inside, just doesn't look cool for other peoples view (if you get what I mean?)

If you wanted style you can get an um-marked executive Mercedes with proper style to drop you off wherever you're going, that shows (IMO) class and money although you can't have the same number of people so expect in some situations it's not as much fun.

I simply think they often look kind of tacky!

Paul, you're bang on the money there. Better to spend the money on the lady / night out than the taxi.
 
I say Limo's are uncool, as every buck tooth slapper and "Geezer" seems to be leaning out of one on the way to the local pub :eek:
However, Just because it isn't "cool" doesn't make it a bad thing. Although I have never been compelled to hire a limo I have friends that use them every birthday to go to whatever club, and they enjoy it immensley. Each to their own (y)
 
i think it depends on the situation..

example, arrive at a flash club / restrauant / wateva in a classy black limo, with a classy outfit and classy lady then yea some people can pull it off very well! :D

however, when a bunch of pikeys rent one between 15 of them to cruise round town and hurl abuse then they are really uncool.

when we moved to the states for a while my dads company paid for us to b taken from the airport to home in a limo... that was cool!

a lot of bad stigma attahed to them tho, a good mate of mine got one for his sisters 18th, she had the window down slightly going around cardiff, some little prick threw a screw driver through the window, hit her in the eye, blind! not nice!
 
all bids cancelled due to the item no longer being available!

and noting like a thread revival Dave (y)
 
There's a bit of a debate going on about all these stretch jobbies. From what I remember there is a problem because of the number of people they tend to shove in & therefore classification of the vehicle.
Also there was something about the licences of the people who drive them (again, because of the number of passengers.
And, I think there was mention of the safety issues of having umpteen drunken chavs hanging out of the sunroof etc - so issues with seatbelts etc plus the noise coming from these things when the drunks have their 'music' pumping
 
The best "limo" at my daughter's school leaving prom was a fire engine. But my 1976 Suzuki Kettle 750 got even more attention.

At my eldest's 'prom', one group supped all the complimentary champagne then promptly chundered all over the inside of the limo - and the driver only found out later.
At the end of the prom, the group were all stood outsiode waiting for the limo which never turned up, the company refused to take them home leaving them with an enormous taxi bill (as the prom was at a golf club in the middle of nowhwere (about 20 miles away) and the only taxis available were the small cabs.
That was after the GCSEs.
They had another 'prom' after their A levels & this time it was at a large hotel complex so they could all stay overnight :eek:

Another daft idea from American telly.
