Boxer Pacquiao runs for office in a big Hummer


As world welterweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao likes to make an entrance when it comes to his multi million pound boxing shows, he likes to create the same stage presence when it comes to running for a seat in the Phillipine congress.  Hundreds of cheering fans awaited on the open air basketball courts in San Miguel as he emerged from a big bad black Hummer vehicle as he waves in a blue vest bearing the name of his political party, the People’s Champ Movement.

Blasting out the sounds of “Eye of the Tiger” from “Rocky III” Manny as he entered the stage in the Hummer, one of the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer and one of the wealthiest men in his impoverished homeland, Manny  is now trying to translate his enormous appeal into votes in the May 10 election.

He commented “I don’t want to be just your boxing idol,” he told the crowd from a makeshift stage on the back of a truck. “I also want be your idol in public service.”

Many believe if Manny Pacquiao wins a seat it will be the end of the possibility for the fight every boxing fan has been waiting for against Floyd Mayweather Junior,  for now Manny has mentioned he will wait until after the election to comment on the status of the proposed bout.

Hummer limo hire


There are many limousines out on the roads here in the UK, some older stretch vehicles have been around for over twenty years and so it always pays for you to view your intended limousine in person before booking your occasion.

Hummer limo hire has been the predominant fashion in limousines over the last five years and many countries of the World have adopted a stretch Hummer within this time period.  It is very important to ensure the Hummer vehicles are well maintained, not only mechanically but also visually inside and out.  With the average limousine company taking around 250 different clients per year a Hummer limo can start to look tired within the space of two years.  Within quite periods it is for the operator to go over the vehicles ensuring any blemishes on paint work or issues with upholstery are rectified and maintained.  There are some fantastic car cleaning products out there now which help to keep the vehicles clean and smelling nice.

You can also use Vapourisers inside the limousines, these are like fog machines which spray out fine particles in the car treating any stubborn smells and refreshes the vehicle to a pleasant cherry smell, there are other ranges available.  It is also important to coat the exterior paintwork with a long lasting protection and also protect the underneath of the vehicles from rust.  This is especially important when importing Hummers from another country whereby the vehicle is shipped on ‘top deck’, the elements of the sea can errode vehicle materials and so a protectant should ideally be applied before the limousine gets boarded onto the freight ship.
