* A task in one of ''Series/TopGearUK'''s "cheap-car challenges" asked the presenters to modify their vehicles into an executive vehicle/limousine, with each of the trio's creations being characterised by a unique characteristic. While Hammond decided to make a convertible stretch limo - and James electing to improve mobility (or at least ''try'') by grafting the front end of a Saab 9000 to the back of an Alfa Romeo 164 (creating what he dubbed the ''Alfaab''; a vehicle which could be driven at either end) - Clarkson took the length aspect, dialled it way past 11... and applied it to his Fiat Panda. As well as retaining the two-door configuration, which required passengers to ride on a ''Film/TheGreatEscape''-tunnel-style cart just to get to the back seats, he'd made it a few feet ''longer'' than a London bus. With this rendering his car illegal for the road, shortening it involved cutting the car apart ''again'', removing the offending extra few feet and welding the two halves back together for the challenge of chauffeuring a celebrity to the BRIT Awards. Even shortened, the Panda was still completely impractical while trying to get around roundabouts and making turns. When the car inevitably split apart along the newly rewelded seam in the middle of London, he simply left the rear half of the (front-wheel drive) car behind, ferrying his passenger to the venue in the now two-wheeled, rearless Panda.

Usually featured in comedy works, this is any very, very, ''very'' long limousine belonging to some [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense rich]] [[ConspicuousConsumption showoff]] jerkass who may or may not be CompensatingForSomething. Often used as a (no pun intended) OverlyLongGag when a good portion of a scene is reserved for watching a limo take a lifetime to pull over. Of course, the main character will land inside (usually more or less forcefully) at least once. Sometimes the absurdly long vehicle will have nonsensical features like a hot-tub or a bowling alley attached, or perhaps a small car ''inside'' the limousine to help people travel within it more quickly. Also expect [[SunroofShenanigans shenanigans]] if someone wants to stand up in the roof. Someone coming out from this car will usually use a FeetFirstIntroduction.
