Teh Spotted Thread

[JLv3.0]

And while looking away from it, with your eyes shut and a bag over your head just in case.

Tl;Dr I hate it.

I saw a yellow F50 on the M25 yesterday. I got my PA to research, and she thinks it’s one of 31 yellow ones worldwide

[Zonda_]

Driving down to Birmingham today saw loads of stuff A lot of supercars in convoy including 2 A8s, 2 Huracans, an Aston, 2 Morgan and others! Later saw 3 early Capris followed by a 50s Thunderbird then a Scorpio, can't remember the last time I saw one of them and had forgotten how hideous they were.

I thought this was Teh Orange Leader passing overhead but on googling, "Marine One" is green and these perhaps look to be blue? Difficult to tell at this distance. They're pretty certainly Sikorsky VH-3D Sea Kings as used by the US military though.

[Mito Man]

I think one of the two is carrying the orange one. Probably just the atmosphere and distance making it look blue.

[Mito Man]

I wonder how they got the Sikorskys to the UK? Do they get partially disassembled and stowed in a plane?

Presumably they’re “shipped” over with the beast and rest of the entourage vehicles?

[Mito Man]

According to a quick look at Wiki
“Marine One is transported via C-17 Globemaster or C-5 Galaxy military transport planes (as is the president's limousine) wherever the President travels, within the US as well as overseas.”

Didn’t think it would fit on a plane!

One hell of a plane!



ETA - looks like it will even fit a Chinook on board

[Simon]

You know why the nose lifts up on that plane don't you? It's to get to all the loose change that falls under the pilots seat.

[Mito Man]

Always hard to get a sense of scale from pictures, but I’ve seen a chinook up close so that’s pretty staggering.

I'm constantly surprised when his ego does.

Tim Shaw from Car SOS in my local Tesco, obviously having come in late from an oily day at filming. Turns out he lives locally.

Drives a new Mitsubishi Shogan Sport.

Had a little chat with Harry Redknapp as he pulled out of his amazing beachfront house on Sandbanks in his grey Cullinan the other day.

I know naff all about football, but I smiled and said hello and we had a quick exchange while his wife was getting in the car.

Nice chap I thought, to just shoot the breeze with a random like me...
