Extend stubby limb and ring for car (7,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stretch limo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ring for car' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'extend stubby limb' is the wordplay.
'extend' becomes 'stretch' (stretching is a kind of extending).
'stubby limb' becomes 'limo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stretch'+'limo'='STRETCH LIMO'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stretch limo that I've seen before include "Long vehicle" , "Large luxury car" , "motor" , "Very long car" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
