EM4CZ Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 original set maybe yes, your moc nothing. This is Limousine Quote
danim Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 yeah but where are the curves, where's the style. The name reflects the design, the beast. President Pepper wanted a classical vehicle with modern features this is what the queen drives in here in the uk Bentley State Limousine by kenjonbro, on Flickr or the car of the prime minister or other royal members Jaguar XJ LWB, unmarked Range Rover, Chrysler Voyager drop Prince Charles at Birmingham New Street station by wicked_obvious, on Flickr and for reference here is a video of a convoy for a member of the royal family Quote
marthamartha Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Americans love their vehicles, such as American presidents. From William Howard Taft to Barack Obama, each U.S. president has had a special spot in his heart for his presidential car. Here's some fodder for next presidential car trivia contest, courtesy of the LA Times. Did you know that President Taft was not only the first United States president to use vehicles instead of horse and buggy, but that he also used an electric car? It's the type of stuff supporters of presidential car trivia must know. Dig in. Article source: US presidents and their cars, part 1. Quote
