England fans relax in Hummer limo

Dex Marshall's Hummer H2 is turning heads in Germany

A 40ft-long stretch Hummer limousine painted with St George flags is competing to be one of the most unusual modes of transport at the World Cup.

England supporter Dex Marshall drove the £107,000 vehicle from his home in Eastbourne, East Sussex, to Germany.

It is being used by 13 other fans, including Mr Marshall's son Carl, as they drive between the different venues for England's group games.

"The reaction we've had has been incredible," said Mr Marshall.

The Hummer H2 is currently parked up at a campsite in Nuremberg ahead of England's next group match against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday.

Bar and karaoke

It also has pictures of the team painted on its sides.

An external PA system can play music, while inside the vehicle there is a bar, karaoke, dry ice machine, laser lights and football DVDs.

Mr Marshall said: "It has been well received in Germany and everyone has been very friendly.

"People have been coming up and taking pictures because they think this is the official team vehicle and that David Beckham is inside.

"They stand there waiting for him to get out," he added.
