Yeah, you see all sorts of stretches.  The one I thought to be a step too far was a stretched, 4-door, Corvette.  Methinks a rabid group of the car's enthusiasts would find that at least sacreligious.  The roomiest stretches I've seen have been GMC Suburbans and the like.

the most rediculous I've seen are the stretch-Tabants.

The stretched Minis (new BMW ones) with a jacuzzi in the back look cool - they even have a optional hard-top roof section for the jacuzzi for when it's snowing :-\

M1 ? don't know about that maybe ...... did look for that stretched Leo 2 from a few years ago but musta deleted it from my hard-drive.

But about 15yrs ago a guy from a Brisbane model club built this "Soviet Behemoth" ....

 ...... and my Mk.1******** (Male) Tank crossing a German trench.

I found the attached image on-line and was hoping to just provide a link to the source but it appears to no longer be available so here it is from my files instead.
