Some say he’s the best in the business. Some say he’s the craziest. Either way, his concoctions attract a huge amount of attention.

Vini Bergeman aka “Big Daddy” has been building limos his whole life. He owns a few stretch limo factories in Southern California, his regular business, which makes enough money to finance his toys.

His renowned inventions include: the Heli-Limo, built from a helicopter shot down in Vietnam, the two-headed Mini-Limo (Vini and his crew took two Mini Coopers, sawed them in half and glued the front parts back together), and his latest invention, the Jet-Limo - a jet car with 20,000 horsepower, made to look like a stretch limo.

We follow Big Daddy and his crew as they fire up the Jet Limo for its spectacular maiden ignition.
