{Hummer Limousine in New York City}

On August 28, 2015 we did spot a Hummer Limousine on Broadway, near Wall Street in New York City.
With its full 10.5 meters of length, not an easy vehicle for inner city traffic I guess.

  15. Dearest Mariette,
    Hummers look so silly, they remind me of the toy trucks and cars that Proge had when he was little expanded to some huge oversized thing!
    Very happy to read of your continued improvement; please be careful and don't do too much too soon.
    Enjoy the week end!..............*s*

  17. das ist ja Wahnsinn - liebe Mariette -
    allein der Name ist so lustig - ich traue mich noch nicht mal,
    einen kleinen Bus zu fahren - geschweige denn so ein langes Vehikel -

    liebe Grüße und alles Gute - Ruth

  18. My Dear Mariette,
    I think I would feel very safe inside this vehicle, but it is certainly odd looking! We have Hummers here in the mountains, too. Hoping you are feeling better and so glad to hear your Father is doing better. I know it has been a stressful time for you. Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead, my friend.
    Hugs to you
    xo Karen

  19. Dear Mariette,

    Must be hard to manoeuvre the big vehicle around the City, but a good way of getting a lot of people around.
    Hope you are feeling better
    Sending hugs and wish you a happy weekend
    Carolyn
