Mini XXL Stretch Limo

Topic:

Mini XXL Stretch Limo Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review BMW shows a stretch limo made of a Mini Cooper S to promote the Mini at the Olympic Games in Athens.

The Mini Cooper Limo also called MINI XXL features a open pool at the rear. The red six wheeler has four doors and six seats. This is the only model. It was custom made in LA. Must be a fun sight to see the Mini XXL in real life. When the Hummer Limos came out that was quite cool already, but I think the Mini XXL beats a Hummer Limo flat out.
