From PROM SEASON to WEDDING SEASON!

Greetings everyone! So it's been awhile since my last post...and...we've grown YET AGAIN! That's right, we increased the size of our fleet by adding yet another limo! And THIS time, we've completely out-done ourselves! First, before I even TRY to describe the latest addition...why dontcha click on the link below and view the YouTube video of the interior!



Ok...so how does one describe THAT!? Its a beautiful BRAND NEW 2008 Chrysler 300c with a CUSTOM PEARL WHITE paint job and WHITE VINYL TOP! This limo was originally designed by the builder to be thier "showcar. They only produced ONE MODEL like this one so its the ONLY ONE LIKE IT IN THE WORLD!! Can you tell how excited I am about this one!? We will have photos on the web site next week (hopefully) and I have plans to improve the video by shooting a new one and posting it on YouTube. We will feature the YouTube video on the web site as well! Meanwhile, its available for charters NOW and will definitely be our "SHOW CASE" limo for years to come!

Well, we've had a RECORD Prom season this year as we move into the Wedding Season! We've enjoyed a nearly 20% increase in bookings over the same period last year and I'm really proud of my drivers Karen, Thaddeus, Tim, Pauli and James! Long hours and hustling to maintain our 10-15min early policy has been the norm these past two months. Many times they've really had to work hard when we've booked double runs in a day. Clients don't realize what we have to go through to clean up/fuel/re-stock and make it on time to a 2nd charter in the same day!

With 6 limos in the fleet now, I've had to get behind the wheel most weekends but I expect to hire another part-time driver soon. Also, we're actively looking for an ideal spot to re-locate. I hope to stay close to home in Pittsburg and will be meeting with city officials next week in an effort find a great location. It seems almost surreal to me that we've outgrown ourselves so quickly (barely 2 years) and during a downed economy! Housing prices slumping, skyrocketing fuel prices, food costs way up...and yet my business is growing! I guess we're doing SOMETHING right!?

Please take just a couple more minutes to view the following web sites...As many of you know, we are the "Official Limousine Provider" for Infineon Raceway for the 2008 season! We worked out some GREAT limo/ticket packages with them!!!

We are working with KSFO AM560 Talk Radio again! Our Valentine's Day promotion...VIP dinner/limo to our favorite Italian restaurant Fior d' Italia (http://www.fior.com/) was so successful this year, they called us to work with them at the Russian River Passport event (http://www.russianriverpassport.com/sponsors.html). If you love wine...this is definitely an extraordinary wine lover's weekend for sure!

Until next time....
