Anyway, I think yank limos are tacky and the stretched hummer even more so, but as a piece of tongue in cheek humour why not, someone even has a pink one :oops:

Motorbikes are the best, contact the Local Harley club or Hells angels, with money going to charity I am sure they would oblige.

Post by: freeagent on January 17, 2007, 16:04:37: How about a convoy of ex-military stuff, there must be some guys in the ex- military landrover club near you that could help out if it were to raise a bit of cash for a charity...

a convoy of 110's and 101's fully kitted out would be good... even better if you could get a bedford aswell.... be like a mini-invasion...

or an ex-SAS pink panther, i know there are a few replica's about....
