Mexico...Stone Island, Sinaloa, Mexican Limousine.

The "Mexican Limousine" waiting out the back of the Puesta De Sol bar / restaraunt on Stone Island.

No........I'm not kidding you. That is what they call them, they take on a few different forms, this particular one being the horse drawn version on a single axle, which makes for a very interesting ride over the rough dirt roads on the island.
The other one is a larger version which is basically a large wooden box / crate made up and placed on a old salvaged bus or truck chassis with wooden planks placed from side to side across the box and running from front to back at about 500mm spaced intervals to form seats, and the whole thing is then hooked up to a tractor (extremely old as well, but still running) and off you go.........these big ones carry about 60 passengers....priceless as you would say.

Note the smoke damage coming out of the kitchen window at the back of the place...it is just such a "mexican" scene this one, it is how I have always seen the true Mexico....too good.!
