MAN CHARGED WITH LIMOUSINE INCIDENT

August 24th, 2010

A 22 year old man is now facing charges after a stretched limousine crashed through a crowd at a downtown nightclub and sent nine people to a near by hospital. Celebrities had been spilling out of the nightclub at around 2:30am when the limo (owned by Gold Limousine) had driven over the curb and into the crowd.

The incident had begun when a man had had a fight with another person near to the club at the Esso petrol station, the man then left the station. Being upset and he drew attention of nearby pedestrians, the driver saw a man waving a traffic cone as he had approached the limousine in a threatening manner. Fearing for his own safety the chauffeur had tried to leave the scene, however the limousines wheels had been facing the curb and when he had accelerated the vehicle mounted the curb and plowed into the crown.

Nine people outside the club were injured and transported to the nearest hospital with cuts and bruises, they were released between five and six hours later. The stretched limo had stopped about half a block away, the chauffeur got out and gave first aid to the injured people until the police and medical crews had arrived. The man who police allege brandished the cone fled on foot and was arrested later on in the early morning hours. Kyle Allan Wugalter was then charged with mischief under $5,000 and resisting arrest. However police are considering charging the limousine chauffeur.

Doug Cheyney has put all his money on hoping corporate clients will drive his new limousine hire business to stardom. Doug has recently opened a new limousine business adventure limousine in South Londonderry Township, his third business venture overall. He also operates Cheyney Property Maintenance and Eco Green Clean Pro, a carpet cleaning business.

 

The mum of Cheyney said ‘we are an entrepreneurial family’ for now, Adventure Limousine is a one-vehicle operation, (an eight seater Lincoln stretched limousine) while the economy has been starting to show the signs of growth, Doug does know many businesses are still operating on tight budgets. He does hope that his limousine company can offer the public the ability ‘to entertain clients and work around thin budgets. We can customize programs for each business’

EVER THOUGHT ABOUT TRAVELLING EUROPE IN A STRETCHED LIMOUSINE?

July 29th, 2010

Well for Thame resident David Monument and three of his friends, the idea of traveling to Venice in a stretched limousine is now reality. The four of them who all work for Activision in the town, are taking part in the Crumball rally, they set off on Thursday on their European adventure, aiming to raise money for the charity Transverse Myelitis Association, this charity supports the victims of a neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord.

 

David quoted ‘Our aim is to get to Venice in four days, there are 84 teams in the rally so I gues our aim is to win, or come somewhere close, but to get there at all would be just great. Its basically for fun and to raise money along the way. I had this stretched limousine and we thought it would be good to deck it out with an Xbox and a plasma TV so that those who aren’t driving could play it, and that when we stopped we could open it up to other races and people could have a play’.

 

The team will also be stopping at Verzasca dam, in Switzerland, which is where one of them will emulate the opening scence of the 1995 James Bond film Goldeneye by bungee jumping from the 220m structure.

LIMOUSIN ENGULFED IN FLAMES

July 19th, 2010

One of the big days in American history, while others had been enjoying the July 4th fireworks and barbecue’s,  a 66 year old women was to attend a wedding at a spa and resort. A stretched white limousine picked her up from her home; she had about an hours drive before set down. After she had settled down in the back, she had noticed that the car was too hot, minutes later she was helped about by the chauffeur of the limousine. It had burst into flames.

Ongoing watchers had said the limousine had almost reached the end of the road when it engulfed in flames, he got out and opened his door and said that the limo was on fire and going to explode. The old lady said that she could hardly walk, from this the chauffeur had put her arms around his neck so he could help her out onto the street, less than 5 minutes later, the car have become engulfed in flames. After a few moments more, they both had heard booms, two fire engines and a ladder truck were dispatched. By the time that the fireman had arrived, the flames had spread onto a nearby telephone pole.

It had been 104 degrees that day on the thermometer, I would think the heat had a good chance of playing the major role in that said the chauffeur.  The converter was tested simultaneously, and within 27 years, this has never happened.

96 MINIMUM PROMSTERS LEFT ON SIDE WALK AFTER VOSA CRACKDOWN

July 8th, 2010

Due to the pure fact that most limousine companies are not listening to the law or acknowledging the changes, VOSA are cracking down on the limousine firms that choose to go against them.

A prom night is the last chance to look back on your school life and remember the good times, the hard and to have an insight of what the future will bring, however one prom in Peterborough was ruined as a limousine company (not to be named) had not been honest to their costumers by not following the law and therefore creating the worst possible nightmare for a promsters last night of school life.

Twelve limousines in total were called to a stop, all of which from the same limousine firm. All of the limousine chauffeurs had no UK licence, three of the limos had then been towed and scrapped leaving the promsters on the side road, the hummer style stretch limousine had fifteen people on board with no COIF certificate, and every time they tried to turn the limousine on, it drenched the road with petrol which was coming from the engine.

From this over 12 limousines worth of prom goers last school night was ruined, how much more until people learn.

DEMAND FOR LIMO’S IN ESSEX

June 23rd, 2010

Limousine firms throughout Essex have said that this year they are finding it hard to keep up with the demand from the teenagers that are willing to splash out to arrive in style for their prom nights. The bigger limousine companies are gathering up to 300 calls for every date in the prom calendar and are tired of turning away people for certain dates.

 

One limousine spokeswomen quoted ‘we just wish we had more cars’ ‘the bigger limousines like the party buses and hummer are more demand for the fact that the legal ones are 16 seaters, we are probably booked for the next couple of months now for the prom season’

 

Another limousine company owner said ‘we are virtually fully booked; our long white stretch limousines are very popular’

 

The season has started, and for most companies, it will not finish for at least another month or so.

Councils looking at limousines more objectively?

June 9th, 2010

Just recently, we have started giving formal presentations to council licensing officers about stretch limos – what they are, how they are built, VOSA’s requirements etc.

 One such presentation was given to Spelthorne Council and invited licensing officers from other councils (12 in all) on 13th April.  The presentation was followed by a very open Q and A forum and “both sides” were very open and frank – from the good, the bad and of course, the ugly.

 Today, we received the following email from the senior licensing officer of Runneymede Borough Council, who until now, have not licensed limousines:

 BEGIN QUOTE

Just a short note to let you know that Members of the Regulatory Committee agreed, last night, to relax the restriction & requirement of 3 point lap & diagonal passenger seat belts for side or rear facing seats.

 he item put before the Committee was aimed at removing the one condition that inhibited the licensing of ‘stretched limos’ in Runnymede.

 There seems to be no good reason why any operator based within the Borough cannot now become licensed with us and operate within the law.

 Please feel free to contact us should you wish any further information.

END QUOTE

This is good news and goes to show what can be achieved if a sensitive and accurate approach is adopted and put before the authorities, who of course, have the deciding vote.

 We also heard today that both Bolton and Walsall Councils have agreed to license limousines of up to eight passengers.

TEENS PROM NIGHT SAVED

June 7th, 2010

A bunch of seven teenagers dream prom night is back on after a limousine company had gone bust. The year 11 students from Greendown high school had thought that their night was going to be ruined when the limousine company they had booked with fell through. However one limousine firm was able to come to their rescue. Alison Millin aged 48 whose daughter Faye (16) is one of the relieved parents quoted ‘I think its very good of them to come forward, the kids would now actually have a nice start to the evening, they are over the moon and really excited’

The groups of teens who were involved were Gemma Warren, Amy Sharpe, Iona Garnett, Bethany Beynon, Hannah Spencer, Matt Goode and Faye Millin, they all have spent months planning out their perfect end to their high school lives and booked well in advance with the travel. However, soon after they had found out for themselves that the owner of Must Afa Limo had sold his limousine due to the poor trading conditions recently. He kindly pasted on their deposit to another firm however they could not provide limousines, just luxury saloon type vehicles, because of this, the deposit was returned.

Mrs Millin said ‘they were all upset, we were left with having to arrange the whole night again when the girls needed to be concentrating on their upcoming exams. They are sensible and realized that there are more important things in the world, however wanted a big night leaving school and saying goodbye to all their friends’. However after frantically ringing every limousine firm they could, the group had some lucky to come across one who could fit them in. With this, the limousine firm said that they could not do the whole job, but offered them a trip free of charge to the prom venue. All the teens had an exciting night and said goodbye in the right way.
