Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Here at Coventry limo we are anxiously waiting the out come of the 2011 Budget to see how it is going to effect the limo hire industry, after all fuel duty has a massive impact on small  business’s and hitting them hard, limo hire is more costly and peole do not have the money to spend. Families are finding it tough, but youngsters still have school proms, birthdays, and want to celebrate the traditional way by hiring a limo or a hummer.

Limo hire brings large groups of  party-goers out to the big City’s such as Birmingham,  Coventry and London, which in effect keeps the City’s buzzing and people spending.

Petrol prices have soared to an all time high making, The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)  call on the government to reverse the planned 1p rise in fuel duty in the Budget  and is urging it to introduce a fuel duty stabiliser.

Coventry limo has not increased their limo hire this year so far, lets hope the 2011 budget lets it stay that way with fuel duty!

Birmingham City Secure The Carling Cup.

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Over the years there has been so much rivalry between Coventry City and Birmingham City football fans, but Sunday the 27th of February saw Coventry City fans rooting for their neighboring City, Birmingham.  Large groups of fans travelled in style and luxury to Wembley stadium in 16 seat  hummers and limo hire to watch The Carling Cup. The Midlands fans were ecstatic when at 16.28   Birming City’s Nikola Zigic, heads the ball in to the goal, making it  1-0 Birmingham. Wembley stadium was rocking, the atmosphere was electric. At  16.40 Arsenal leveled  things up and Robin van Persie then scored an equaliser putting the pressure on Birmingham City, And then in the 89th minute Obafemi Martins scored the winning goal and sparked wild celebrations among the over 30,000 Blues fans at the venue. His vital goal was enough to secure a memorable victory for the Blues, and he insists the strike is the most important of his career, as well as the easiest he has ever scored.

“I have scored a lot of important goals but since I was at Inter Milan this is the most important because it won a trophy,” Martins continued.  He added: “I think this is the most easiest goal that I’ve ever scored in my career and it’s very important.

Cup-tied midfielder David Bentley had urged his Birmingham team-mates to believe they could win the Carling Cup. Bentley played for Spurs when they were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal earlier in the competition and he said: “If you are positive – and you have to believe – you can do anything. I don’t see any reason why we can’t go out there and put our stamp on the game. We shouldn’t respect them too much or let them play. We should get in their faces.”

The celebrations continue at St. Andrews stadium and will do for a long while.
