Blackpool, October 8th 2007….when a little bit of history was made by a combination of limousine operators, a very generous general public and lots of assistance from the town of Blackpool itself.

Over 120 stretched limousines, stretched Hummer limos,  4X4 limos, a mayoral limousine, a stretched Ferrari and the Terminator travelled a 2 mile course in convoy to break the Guinness World Record for the longest limo convoy ever. In the process a huge some of money was raised for some excellent causes and it seems that the limo industry has found a new spiritual home on the Golden Mile in the party capital of Europe.

Hundreds of people donated generously to charitable causes to take a passenger seat in the limos as they paraded along the promenade and on behalf of the whole orgainising team, I would like to say a big thank you to all who arrived to support this event so generously.

The total length of the convoy is recorded at 1.3 miles although this is yet to be ratified by the Guinness people so we will wait a little while longer before celebrations commence.  We believe that the American limo industry is a little miffed that their record has gone and may attempt a similar event. If so, we may need to do it all again next year, only bigger…..
