Maserati Limo Listed on eBay
Maserati is one of those brands that car lovers all over the world immediately identify with and feel a bit wistful because so few of us can afford one. Names like Rolls-Royce and Bentley evoke similar feelings but for very different reasons. Here at NLS Limo, we love luxury vehicles of all kinds, but we have very strong feelings about which brands should remain high-end performance machines (like Maseratis) and which should remain stately luxury limousines (like Rolls and Bentley.) When we heard about a 10-passenger Maserati limousine being auctioned on eBay, our lead mechanic had to be rushed to the hospital. Such a thing was inconsistent with his worldview, and the thought of a fine Italian performance machine grafted to the body of a limo was just too much.
Make Your San Francisco Wedding Limo Reservations Now
Not all happy couples get married in June. Some prefer to marry in the fall when caterers, tailors, wedding planners and other wedding professionals aren’t so insanely busy. Of course, there are other advantages to avoiding the traditional June wedding season. Parks, churches, banquet halls and other popular places for wedding ceremonies and receptions aren’t booked solid with reservations. The weather’s lovely with much cooler temperatures, wedding guests’ schedules are a bit more open, airfares are a little less expensive and, let’s face it, fall colors and the changing leaves make a perfect backdrop for wedding pictures. Couples also find that they have a much better selection of San Francisco wedding limousines from which to choose!
Retired Businessman Commissions Wild Custom Rolls-Royce
A businessman has invested many hundreds of thousands of dollars in what he aspires will be the “wackiest Rolls-Royce Phantom ever.” Robert Allan, 62, of Marbella, Spain and other locations is a retired businessman with very expensive tastes in automobiles. His Rolls-Royce Phantom, which has been described as the most modified Phantom in the world, has just arrived at his Marbella estate after weeks of what can only be described as a most unusual makeover. Mr. Allan commissioned London-based car dealer SuperVettura and designer Pablo Rabiella to customize the limo, and all we can say is it doesn’t look anything like the San Francisco Rolls-Royce limo rentals in our fleet.

Suspended Bus Charter Companies Cry Foul
Eight bus charter companies in New York that had their licenses suspended recently by the Governor for numerous safety violations have cried foul, and they will be able to transport their guests again. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo responded to a series of fatal bus crashes earlier this year by ordering roadside inspections that have removed dozens of buses from service and caused bus charter companies to scramble to make arrangements of their guests. Eight companies that had their licenses suspended for multiple safety inspection failures were allowed to transport tourists, wedding guests and others again but only on buses that passed state inspections.
