Stretch-limo pulled up so the driver could get something from the boot; obviously I got a shot :-)
Converted to B&W, added noise and boosted contrast.
Almost like a true pap... ...didn't stick my camera in the window!

Special:
- This design of Sir Alec Issigonis became the icon of all "bubble cars": front wheel drive with a small engine transversely mounted.
- Alec Issigonis solved major front suspension problems by building the transmission into the crankcase under a transverse engine, using a floor gearshift a simple rubber cones-in-torque suspension (variable spring pressure and no maintenance / no lubrication) and small wheels.
- The actual Mini is two inches wider than the prototype, because of safety measures.
- It has a four-speed manual gearbox ( second and fourth synchronized) and one SU carburettor.
- The Primeval-Mini (850cc engine) was named Austin Seven or Morris Mini-Minor ("The car that belongs to the future, belongs to you!") until 1969 when BMC "lifted" Mini as an independent brand.
- They were produced in the Cowley plant, Oxford (1959-1968) and in the Longbridge plant, Birmingham (1959-2000).
- But a "compact design" has its price: a sober interior, sliding windows, doors with a pull cord, little luggage room and and a "going to the bones" vibration as the engine must "slave" in low gears.
- But the Mini was safe, stable, and extremely forgiving (in the middle of a turn, you could your foot off the accelerator without risk!).
- The Mini was improved continuously throughout its long life. For example, rubber suspension was replaced by a hydrolastic system (1964), 1000cc engine (1967), automatic gearbox (1968) and front disc brakes(1984).
- From 1964 through 1967 the little car dominated the Monte Carlo Rally. The car easily achieved these victories using a 91 horsepower engine.
- It was available as MK I(1959−1967), MK II (1967−1969), MK III(1969−1976), MK IV(1976−08/1984), and MK V08/1984-1992). Later as "limited editions": MK VI (1992−10/1996 SPi Single Point Injection) and MK VII (10/1996− 4. Oktober 2000).
- And many variants like this Limo (unica), the Mini Cooper and Cooper S (1961–2000), Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Mini Countryman (1961–1969), Mini Clubman and 1275GT (1969–1980), Mini Van (1960–1982), Mini Pick-up (1961–1982) and Morris Mini K (March 1969 – August 1971, Australia only), Mini Moke (1964–1989).
- Mini (styled MINI) is both the name of a subsidiary of BMW, and a car produced by that subsidiary since 2001. The car is marketed as a "retro" redesign of the original Mini, and manufactured in Cowley, Oxford, United Kingdom, in what was historically the Morris car plant.
The Ambassadors Limo camo about becouse our local RLUG ambassador some years ago gave me the 'Slaver' conopy (to use in a moc), and kept on pestering me (that is actual not true, but sounds well for the story...) about doing that moc Hmmm. The canopy have had an vissible place close to building area, so as to be in my awareness all the time, and finally b4 we had our anual RLUG meet at 'Byggepladens' klodsfest this spring (2018) in Kalundborg, i got around to use it!
And here it is, an aircar fit for an ambassador. Something good must have happend, becouse there is some kind of party going on, in the passenger area with liqour and flowers........
The part on top, 'air intakes' is from Lego RC models from around the late '90 i think.
Enjoy.
"Cap'n if we put any more color in her she'll fly apart!
Star Trek on the brain tonight. I was watching the DVD of season 1 of Heroes. George Takei shows up in the role of an older Japanese business magnate. Once his scene is done he jumps in a Limo and pulls away. The camera briefly showed the license plate NCC-1701. I laughed out loud, as they say on the Internets.
Found this crusty old tub in a Victoria parking lot. Someone was obviously trying to stop leaks with paint. I don't suppose it worked, but it looked good being pulled to dry dock.
Here is an updated Palace Cinema Lego Set 10232 with my new limo plus some other cars. Thanks to Sven J. for his police car and Murdoch17 for his oldie cars.

Another BIG truck. Luckily in the US they have wide roads, I would hate to drive this thing on the narrow streets in Portugal :-)
A limousine (or limo) is a luxury sedan or saloon car generally driven by achauffeur and with a partition between the driver and the passenger compartment. Limousines often have a lengthened wheelbase.
It was originally an enclosed automobile with open driver's seat. It is named after a type of cloak and hood that was worn by the inhabitants of the Limousinregion that later resembled the covering of a carriage and much later used to describe an automobile body with a permanent top that extended over the open driver's compartment.
In modern use, a limousine is a luxury sedan or saloon car, especially one with a lengthened wheelbase or driven by a chauffeur. The chassis of a limousine may have been extended by the manufacturer or by an independent coachbuilder. These are called "stretch" limousines and are traditionally black or white. Limousines are usually liveried vehicles, driven by professional chauffeurs. As the most expensive form of automobile ground transportation, limousines are culturally associated with wealth or power and are commonly cited as examples ofconspicuous consumption. Among the less wealthy, limousines are often hired during special events (most commonly weddings, proms, and bachelor parties).
While some limousines are owned by individuals, many are owned by governments to transport senior politicians, by large companies to transport executives, and by broadcasters to transport guests. Most stretch limousines, however, operate as livery vehicles, providing upmarket competition to taxicabs. Builders of stretch limousines purchase stock cars from manufacturers and modify them, and most are in the United States and Europe and cater mainly to limousine companies. Few stretch limousines are sold new to private individuals. In addition to luxuries, security features such as armoring and bulletproof glass are available.
In 2012, the limousine market size was over $4 billion in the United States. There were more than 4,000 limousine companies employing 42,000 employees

Back half of a Lincoln stretch-limo at Paul's junkyard. Obnoxiously windy out there last full moon. Looking at the short-stack of pix this month, I was clearly seeking shelter in most of them. First time night shooting this year tho, so good to get out, even if the tripod almost flew away a couple times. Night, 3-minutes of full moon, with a little red and white flashlight.
Made this photo last year..... Hadn't done anything with it altough I loved this one. Problem was the old farmhouse in the background.
New background thanks to Pareeerica

And ofcourse thanks to Vlammen Ed and his Limo.
Saw this pimped-up white limo the other day, and grabbed a shot while a white car was driving by beside it. It's not a very nice hood ornament, and probably not much of a shot, but there was something about it that held my attention. Probably just the colour.
