Katie Price was all smiles last week as she posed next to the official Foxy Bingo limousine, supplied by Limo Broker, to pick up her award for Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum of the Year 2012. The model and mum-of-three attended a press photo call where she was pictured alongside the official Foxy Bingo mascot and the stunning white stretch Foxy Bingo limousine where she presented with her trophy.

Today’s award marks the second time the 33-year-old former glamour model has been handed the title of Celeb mum of the year, the last time was five years ago in 2007. Katie Price is mum to 9-year-old Harvey from a previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke, and 6-year-old Junior and 4-year-old Princess from her marriage to Peter Andre.

Price beat off steep competition from a whole host of celebrity mums including This Morning host Holly Willoughby, Spice Girl turned fashion designer, Victoria Beckham and Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden to scoop the 2012 title from Foxy Bingo.

Speaking last week at the press call, Katie Price described winning the title of Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum of the Year for a second time as a “huge triumph”, before thanking for everyone who voted as the winner was chosen via a public vote.

Goldie Hawn helped into her limo after partying till early hours in London

goldie-hawn-limo

Veteran Hollywood actress, Goldie Hawn, proved she can keep up with the youngest of starlets in the partying stakes by stumbling out of a London nightspot at 4:30am last week and having to be helped into her waiting limo by her literary agent.

The 66-year-old actress had started the night rather sedately, attending a charity fundraiser for her philanthropic organisation, The Hawn Foundation, at a top Mayfair restaurant and bar. The Death Becomes Her star was accompanied by her actress daughter, Kate Hudson, and her partner, Muse front man, Matt Bellamy. While the young couple called it a night at a reasonable hour, young at heart Goldie didn’t leave the party until 4:30am.

Waiting photographers snapped the Academy Award winner as she emerged from a London club looking a little worse for wear. Goldie Hawn was helped to her waiting limousine by her literary agent, Alan Nevins. A giggly Goldie had to be guided into the limo, but even with assistance she still managed to miss the seat, and then somehow end up on the backseat but facing the wrong way.

The 66-year-old’s late night partying was also especially impressive as she’d spent the day signing copies of her new book, 10 Mindful Minutes, hours after getting off a flight from the States.

Hummer mad businessman buys 13 metre long limo

13m-hummer

A hummer-mad Malaysian businessman has recently taken delivery of a specially commissioned 13 metre hummer limousine which has room to accommodate 30 people onboard.

The colossal hummer is one of three impressive limos owned by businessman Liu Yun Lian. Since purchasing his first 5-door hummer some time ago, the millionaire says his love for the chunky hummer limo has not waned, in fact, he says his desire to own bigger and better hummers pushes him to achieve more in his professional life.

Mr Liu believes his is the only 13 metre hummer in Asia as the businessman had the vehicle custom made by a specialist coach builder in the US before having it shipped over to his home near Kuala Lumpier.

However the 13 metre hummer almost went to someone else as only one of these huge hummers is made every year and so Mr Liu ended up in a bidding war with another potential buyer in Mexico – however a sizeable undisclosed bid, believed to be the equivalent to the cost of a luxury home, sealed the deal for the hummer-mad businessman.

Taking the massive hummers out on the road requires a great deal of planning and man power as six bodyguards-come-chauffeurs are needed with two drivers in normal sedans driving ahead and behind the 13 metre and 9 metre hummers to monitor the upcoming traffic and road conditions, while each hummer as one chauffeur and another bodyguard in the passenger seat acting as a lookout for potential issues which could affect the hummer’s progress along its route.

At 13 metres long, the hummer has more than enough room onboard for luxury features and has been fully kitted out with a karaoke booth, bar, led lighting touch screen displays and leather sofas. Those who’ve travelled onboard have described the hummer as a “castle on wheels.”

Limo Hire Company gets its TV debut on Channel 4 Show

jet-set-limos

A limousine hire company from Blackpool received its TV debut last night after the first episode of a new documentary following the transport company aired on Channel 4.

The brand new show, Out on a Limo, centres on Jet Set Limousines based in Lytham near Blackpool. Last night’s episode which aired at 10pm followed the limo hire operator as they chauffeured a group of beauty queen contestants all vying to be win the title of Miss Blackpool, and also an 11-year-old attending a primary school prom.

Filming for the reality TV show began a year ago in February 2011, with the Channel 4 film crew shadowing the Blackpool based company over the course of several months, filming the company employees, chauffeurs and customers as they go about their daily business.

The TV show is produced by the same company that created Big Fat Gypsy Weddings which proved to be a big hit with the viewers. While the new limo programme has less of the shock-factor compared to the Gypsy Weddings show, the owners of Jet Set Limousines hope the documentary will be just as popular with viewers.

Channel 4 reportedly scoured the country in search of a limo company to star in their new show. When they encountered the Blackpool based firm, the show bosses were adamant they’d found the right company and mix of characters to focus the programme around.

Out on a Limo starring Jet Set Limousines aired last night on Channel 4 but viewers can see the show again on 4 OD.

Pussycat Doll settles her limo hire bill

chrystina-sayers

New Pussycat Doll member, Chrystina Sayers, found herself at the centre of a disagreement in Toronto, Canada last week after a limo chauffeur who’d been hired to transport her and the band on a recent trip revealed he’d yet to receive payment from the pop star’s team.

The girl band member enlisted the services of John Arsenov, the owner and operator of Amberlea Executive Limouisne Service, while visiting Hogtown, Toronto between February 24-26th, running up a bill of $2,000.

Chrystina Sayers is the latest member of the girl group, joining the band last year after winning the TV search to find a new singer for the Pussycat Dolls.

However after chasing the Pussycat Doll’s promoter for payment several days after the job had taken place, the limo hire boss went to the press for help, with the local Toronto newspaper running a story on the unpaid limo bill. The limousine operator also contacted the police with regard to the incident who.

The matter has now been resolved, with the Pussycat Doll’s promoter, Neil Johnson, settling the $2,000 which was left owing. Chrystina Sayer’s representative revealed it was a matter for the promoter to resolve, and nothing to do with the singer herself.

Limo hire boss Mr Arsenov says he let his guard down when taking on the job chauffeuring the pop star and the rest of the band and didn’t insist on a credit card payment up front, which is usual procedure.

Maybach featured in Jay-Z and Kanye West video set for auction

Back Camera

A highly customised Maybach vehicle as seen in the music video for the single Otis from an collaboration from two music heavyweights, Kanye West and Jay-Z, will go under the hammer next week in New York, with part of the proceeds of the sale being donated to Save the Children and the organisation’s efforts to help youngsters in East Africa.

The 2004 Maybach 57 would have cost in the region of $375,000 when bought new, but after undergoing a unique customisation at the hands of the rap stars, which saw them remove doors and other parts of the luxury car with the use of blow torches and saws, the Maybach is now estimated to fetch between $100,000 and $150,000 when it goes to auction on March 8th in NYC.  

While the Maybach doesn’t resemble its original condition after its makeover at the hands of American music stars, Kanye West and Jay-Z, the vehicle is a one-off and entirely exclusive so not surprisingly, interest in this unique car is expected to be great.  

Kanye West and Jay-Z came together last year to create a concept album, Watch the Throne, off which the new single Otis, featuring the Maybach car, is released. The duo are also scheduled to tour the UK in May and June, with extra dates being added due to popular demand.

Limo chauffeur caught drink driving for sixth time in US

lincolntowncarblack

A limousine chauffeur in the US was caught drink driving for the sixth time this week. The 57-year-old had been able to obtain the appropriate licence to drive a taxi and limo despite his previous convictions for driving under the influence as the background checks only went back three years.

Limo driver, Richard Chenoweth, was arrested by police after they pulled over his limousine which was seen swerving across the road and breaking the speed limit on a road in Marco Island, Florida.

When the authorities pulled the vehicle over for doing 45mph in a 30mph area, and found the driver was over the drink drive limit, they carried out further checks and discovered the 57-year-old held a total of five separate drink drive convictions. Due to the fact that the chauffeur had obtained the other driving under the influence convictions during the 90’s and 80’s, they were not taken into consideration when Mr Chenoweth applied for a chauffeur license.

The owner of the limo hire company which employed the chauffeur, Classic Transportation, was said to be unaware of the driver’s previous DUI charges. Because Mr Chenoweth had successfully passed the checks to obtain the hack license, his employer was satisfied that he was eligible to drive limos as a part time driver for his company. After learning about his employee’s past following his arrest, the limo hire boss says he believes the background checks need to be stricter for drivers applying for a hack licence in Collier County States.

Take care booking prom limos warns Milton Keynes Council

prom-1

Milton Keynes Council last week issued as warning to parents and school leavers to be extra vigilant when making a booking for a stretch limo for transport to school proms later in the year amid fears that unscrupulous operators are offering cheap rate limos for hire which are not correctly licensed.

The prom season is an extremely busy time of the year for the limousine hire industry as thousands of teens up and down the country clamber to secure the most impressive vehicles so they can arrive in style on their big night. However Milton Keynes Council are warning that many illegal operators are taking advantage of the high volume of prom goers by offering cut price limos which may not be legal for use carrying fare paying customers.

Limousines which are deemed illegal are those which have not been licensed with either the local council of VOSA. As a result, these limos will have not have undergone routine mechanical checks to ensure they are safe for use, and the vehicle may not be insured to carry passengers so it would not be covered in the event of an accident.

The council is urging parents to be vigilant and to get in touch with the council’s licensing department of VOSA if they have any concerns over a limo hire operator they’re placing a booking with for a school prom. Illegal operators often offer heavily discounted rates so if the price you’re quoted seems cheap, you should question why this is.
