Otago Limousines owner John Gonsalves is handing over the keys to his nine-metre-long 2005 Ford Falcon BA stretched limousine after two years of running the business. Otago Limousines owner John Gonsalves has hit the brakes on his two-year career as a limo driver, in that time ferrying an estimated 1500 people around the city and its surrounds. Mr Gonsalves, who also owns Big John’s Mobility Express, said he sold his 2005 Ford Falcon BA stretched limousine earlier this month because life was getting just too busy. So busy he only found the time to give the vehicle a wash and hand over the keys yesterday. The life of a limousine driver involved weddings, airport trips, hen nights, stag dos and a lot of children’s birthday parties.
