A gothic style hearse limousine was hired last week to star alongside legendary rocker Alice Cooper as he took part in TV panel show, BBC2’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks. The 22foot limo, which is a converted funeral hearse, was used to film a spoof entrance as the singer made his arrival onto the show.

Tony Deluca is the owner of the gothic limo and accompanied the quirky ride during its trip to London for filming on the popular comedy show. According to the limo hire boss, Alice Cooper was impressed with the converted 1977 Cadillac hearse which features a state of the art sound system, black leather upholstery with gothic cross motifs, and skull wine glasses and a creepy ultra violet lighting system.

Speaking in an interview with his local newspaper, limo hire boss Tony Deluca from Pembrokeshire described legendary rocker, Alice Cooper, as a very normal and down-to-earth bloke who was very enjoyable and easy to work with. The band front man even agreed to give the hearse limo his official seal of approval, etching his signature on the leather upholstery with a message that now reads “Alice Cooper was here.”

As well as appearing in TV and films, the gothic limo is also available for private hire bookings and regularly travels throughout the UK to provide chauffeur driven transportation for special occasions including school proms, birthdays and even weddings.

Limo hired to collect take-away for birthday treat

Surprise limo ride to pick up a curry for Devonshire man's 40th birthday bash

As a special treat to celebrate her husband’s 40th birthday, Ali Shaw from Devon decided to hire a stretch limousine for her other half Joel. Nothing unusual there you may think, until you hear where they went on their limo outing…

Birthday boy Joel, originally from Australia, is devoted to the curries served at an Indian take-away hear Barnstaple, the Taj Mahal in Allhalland Street. The Aussie, who has sampled curries from around the world, believes the dishes served up at the Devonshire Indian are the best he’s ever tasted.

Joel and his wife were regular customers at the Taj Mahal when they lived nearby, but after moving home, collecting a curry from their favourite restaurant meant an 80-mile round trip.

As a birthday surprise, Ali hired a limo to pick Joel and a group of friends up from their home and chauffeur them to the take-away to collect their much-loved curry.

The owner of the curry house was bowled over by the lengths the birthday group had gone to in order to collect one of his curries. Azhar Ahmed decided to donate the money from the order, £80, to the North Devon Hospice as he said he was grateful for the “respect” the group had shown for his cooking.

100 year old woman celebrates her big day with a ski limo run

Ski limo ride for 100-year-old in British Columbia

Ski limo ride for 100-year-old in British Columbia

A 100-year-old woman celebrated reaching her milestone birthday by taking to the slopes of British Columbia’s second biggest ski resort, in a ski limo.

The ski limo allows a person to enjoy the sensation of skiing, without any of the hard work. The ski limo, also known as a sno-limo, is a cross between a chair and a sledge and is often used by those who are not confident skiers, or have limited mobility. A guide is needed to steer the snow lino, and the vehicle can be hooked onto the chair lift like a normal skier would so they can enjoy the view as they ascend the mountain.

Mel Walker, who turned 100 last week, has always been an adrenalin junkie and was said to have been a big fan of rollercoasters in her youth. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the daredevil pensioner’s first experience of the ski limo, Ms Walker first took to the slopes on the unique device three years ago at the age of 97.

The birthday group were joined on the slopes by a ski guide from the Big White Resort, who ensured the 100-year-old had a safe and fun-filled trip on her big day. The whole party were said to have been very excited about the experience, and the ski limo ride certainly didn’t disappoint.
