I absolutely love 300c's. They get my attention so much more than euros many times its price.

Streches always look wierd, but I like this

It may still have the suspension chocks in it for putting on the transporter making it look higher

Most limos have fairly 4WD spec ride height. It's so they don't bottom out going over hills, etc.

thats the standard front grill, although it looks like a rip off of the jaguar S-Type R

Pretty cool, Love that interior.. if only we had some nice nightspots to really take one to like Vegas

theres quite a few in sydney, a few stretch territories and about 4 stretch H2's(one of them is literally used as a moving billboard.. they have covered it in the same sort of signage they put on buses that goes across the windows etc, like perforated vinyl or something



Pity the decanters were empty :P
