I was quite impressed that anyone could get that many Phantoms in the same colour in the same place at the same time.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Always wanted one of these since I saw Swordfish back in the day. If it comes with Halle Berry then all the better
Actually - forgive my addled brain - the film had a Tuscan in it not a Sagaris! It was the best part of 20 years ago now though TBF

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
It was a Tuscan in Swordfish.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yes you are of course right. Which is also quite fortunate as they're 1/3 of the price. Still not sure I'd drop £30k on one though (plus the inevitable £xxxx for a rebuild of the engine).
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I was sorely tempted when they were in the £teens. I think they look fantastic and go like a motherfucker. Reliability aside.
For the £30k I think I'd play it safe with something else.

Yeah, because Egham needs more traffic chaos at the momentRich B wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 9:55 pmone of the guys in my office was talking about that too - caused havoc in Egham apparently._andy wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 7:57 pm Eight silver RR Phantoms, doing 5mph on the A30 near Staines, behind a horse drawn herse yesterday.

“We fly up and down the Thames quite a lot,” says the RAF spokesperson. “As long as the weather is good you will see us about. London is a good place to train because flying here is complex — there are lots of other vehicles in the airspace and all the buildings.”

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Egham is a disgrace - changing the lane required to go straight ahead has been too much for the mouth breathers. I can’t believe how long it’s taken to change two roundabouts into one!_andy wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 10:08 amYeah, because Egham needs more traffic chaos at the momentRich B wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 9:55 pmone of the guys in my office was talking about that too - caused havoc in Egham apparently._andy wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 7:57 pm Eight silver RR Phantoms, doing 5mph on the A30 near Staines, behind a horse drawn herse yesterday.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yeah it is a minor disaster zone. I just get in which ever lane seems to be quickest and TLGP it away from the junction I can move across for the A30 if I need to.
Are they making two roundabouts then? To be honest I didn't know, I thought they were digging for oil or something.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
it appears that the weird elongated single roundabout layout is what they are aiming for._andy wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:12 amYeah it is a minor disaster zone. I just get in which ever lane seems to be quickest and TLGP it away from the junction I can move across for the A30 if I need to.

So if you’re coming from Windsor and want to go to Egham or towards Camberley direction you have to go under the motorway to the other roundabout and come back under with all the M25 traffic. It’s bizarre.

That looks like a couple of weeks work, maybe three if you're taking you time, yet they've been at it for monthsRich B wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:22 amit appears that the weird elongated single roundabout layout is what they are aiming for._andy wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:12 amYeah it is a minor disaster zone.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I remember when the A308 from Windsor lost their right of way in the left hand lane... think it lasted less than a month before the reverted to the previous system as no one stopped and they needed to put that bloody Olympic lane in._andy wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:45 amThat looks like a couple of weeks work, maybe three if you're taking you time, yet they've been at it for monthsRich B wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:22 amit appears that the weird elongated single roundabout layout is what they are aiming for._andy wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 10:12 am

I wonder if it’s archeological site aswell? I suppose if they keep going at this pace, it will be by the time they finish!

This is better than a roundabout.
Smelled and sounded like utter filth.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I did about 300 miles over the weekend and the only things I saw if any interest at all were one of those noisy astons with the bright orange bits and a lotus Carlton.
