A top ranking American limo rental website, EzLimoRentals.com (pronounced Easy Limo Rentals) has been bought out by an anonymous UK based buyer according to a recent online report. It’s understood the new owner of EzLimoRentals.com operates a leading limousine hire business in the UK and is planning to expand the company into America.

To mark the takeover of EzLimoRentals.com the new owners are offering all American limousine rental agents the chance to benefit from a free listing on the high ranking website. Companies that already have a listing on the limousine rental site will be able to keep their ad, while those who would like to experiment to see if a listing on EzLimoRentals.com would help boost their online profile, will have the chance to try out the service free of charge.

The new owners of EzLimoRentals.com see the acquisition of the new website as their first step into the American market, something the British company has been keen to pursue for some time according to recent reports. The mystery Managing Director of the UK based company was quoted as saying, “Targeting the American market is something we’ve been planning for some time, however we had to wait for the right opportunity to come our way.”

The anonymous new owner went on to say, “EzLimorentals.com is the perfect way in for our company as our strength lies in our online marketing – taking ownership of a recognisable site such as EzLimorentals.com will provide us with a substantial leg-up into the US market while at the same time providing us with great potential to develop our brand”.

Now the buy-out of the leading American limo rental website is complete, the new owners say they are planning to get straight to work revamping the site. The mystery owner is understood to have successfully developed a range of online products as part of the limo hire business in the UK with a proven track record in strong online marketing.

The company is now planning to take their winning model over to the US with the same web team poised to re-develop the EzLimoRentals.com website to improve the website’s SEO, and boost its overall ranking with the aim of becoming one of the most influential limo rental providers in the States.

Ferrari limo spotted on Christmas shopping trip outside Harrods

red-ferrari-limo-large

The one-of-a-kind Ferrari limo, available for hire exclusively through Limo Broker, caused quite a stir when it rocked up in London’s swanky Knightsbridge yesterday to drop its passengers off for a spot of last minute Christmas shopping at Harrods. The luxury shopping trip to Harrods in the Ferrari limo was arranged by the UK’s leading limo hire operator, Limo Broker.

The stretch limo had a little bit of trouble finding a parking spot because of its extended length and so the chauffeur ended up pulling the attention grabbing limousine up right outside the doors to Harrods so his passengers could easily hop inside the luxury department store for their last minute Christmas shopping spree.

With room onboard for as a many as eight passengers, all comfortably seated in luxurious leather trim bucket seats, the Ferrari limousine is the ultimate vehicle to arrive onboard for a special shopping trip. Plus, thanks to its stretched shape which means the Ferrari measures a whopping 20 feet in length, there’s more than enough room onboard for all of your shopping bags.

The Ferrari limo is the only one of its kind in existence and was created by taking a regular Ferrari 360 sports car, cutting it in half and adding a limo style interior complete with eight seats to the middle of the vehicle. Due to its unique status, the Ferrari limo has attracted attention from around the world and has featured in a number of TV programmes including the BBC motoring show, Top Gear.

Not surprisingly, the Ferrari limo is in huge demand in all parts of the UK and is regularly hired for school proms, weddings, hen and stag parties, corporate events and of course, Christmas shopping trips.

Mobility scooter transformed into Thunderbirds inspired Rolls Royce

thunderbirds-scooter

A grandfather from Worcestershire hit the headlines last week after he debuted his pimped up mobility scooter which he’d lovingly transformed into a Thunderbirds inspired Rolls Royce complete with a Lady Penelope lookalike doll.

Brian Vann from Evesham transformed his regular mobility scooter especially for a cancer charity race after his wife passed away following a battle with the illness back in 2010. The 74-year-old crafted the silver car from cardboard and foil, completing the iconic Rolls Royce look with his own Spirit of Ecstasy created from a Barbie doll and a life size doll in the passenger seat as his own Lady Penelope.

The retired construction worker said he got a picture of the original Thunderbirds car and worked from that to craft his own unique version of the much loved car. The granddad had some help from a couple of friends who made the Lady Penelope doll which rides alongside Mr Vann in the scooter.

The transformation for the 10mph scooter took its inspiration from the legendary 1960’s TV show, thunderbirds, with Mr Vann taking on the role of the chauffeur in his very own Rolls Royce style mobility scooter.

As well as crafting his own Thunderbirds car, the 74-year-old also created his own Batmobile earlier in the year which he spent several weeks making from scratch.
