Lol, i have just noticed that the people living in this neighbourhood have similar taste in cars. if you look in the reflection of the door, you will find no less than 7 identical cars parked up in a row next to each other!!!

I saw a couple of stretched X5's in Boston (USA) last year.

Thought it was only a matter of time before they raised their heads over here!

There are a couple of stretch Hummers knocking round our way (South Cheshire), but I've also seen a stretched and blinged Lincoln Navigator and that makes the Hummers look like smart cars

Somewhere on a roll of film waiting to be developed I have a classic Beetle with two sets of rear wheels, being used as a wedding car.
