Default New Ba Limo

heres some camera phone pics of a limo that my mate just bought.
its a ba superstretch, takes 10 passengers in the back, 1 in the front , plus the driver !
built by limoscene in dandenong its extremely well finished and highly modified from the standard ba fairlane.
features include - ps2, tft screens, dual aircon, dimmer controled downlights, neon pillar lights, full bar & glasses, pumping alpine stereo etc.

I will post some better pics once i get my hands on a digital camera .

The standards with limos are very high, this one is actually registered as a bus, and has to meet things like correct isle height, safety exits etc. they also undergo torsion and beaming tests to twist the crap out of the chassis to make sure it wont bend or break. ive heard stories of limo companies exploding rear windows in these tests !!
The alternator i think is standard BA, 110amp ??
