I hope yours hasn't got those hideous led lights I'm seeing on some model Holdens, IMO they come under the heading of "what were they thinking". My son hired a 300c limo for his wedding a couple of weeks ago, the bloody thing was enormous and the driver had trouble getting around some of the bends in the Dandenongs where the wedding was held. I had fun waving to the peasants as we passed though:-) Daryl

Nah none of that led tail lights simlar to this one but mine is black. :) http://www.zcars.com.au/images/hsv-clubsport-r8-tourer1.jpg Its a great looking beast and yes some of my mates are strange but life would be boring without them. > My son hired a 300c limo for his wedding a couple of weeks ago, the bloody > thing was enormous and the driver had trouble getting around some of the > bends in the Dandenongs where the wedding was held. > I had fun waving to the peasants as we passed though:-) LOL its strange how a limo can make one feel superior to the rest of the world and only for a short moment of their lives. :-) Maybe limo's need to be articulated to get around corners better although after watching top gear with their limo's anything is possible. :-) I would say the hummer limo's wouldn't be fun to drive at all. --- Regards Dan.
