The British Ambassador to the Czech Republic turns out to be an Autoshiter!

What other people in elevated positions do we know who expose our philosophy into the mainstream?

We should invite her to become our honourary patron. We could then abuse the embassy in helping us import Czech chod back to Blighty

Have grown quite fond ( in a never met, internetty sort of way ) of tooSavvy since joining, but have absolutely no idea what he is talking about as a rule.

[Mr Livered]

Jan Thompson is a bit of a looker, too. Worldly and well-travelled + intelligent + good looking + drives shite = OMFG perfect woman

Cor everyone's on the band wagon. I corresponded with Her Excellency only a few weeks ago about this for the club

I can't say that I completely disagree.

Further to Junkmans query about other elevated shiters.

 

Here is a famous Gay Rights campaigner in his Volga , seen here teaching his pacifist boyfriend how to drive and wave at the same time.

 

This little fella had the misfortune of having to move from Notting Hill to Downing Street,when his smug,slimy twat owner didn't win an election.

Former Lib/Dem MP David Steele used to rally a Ford Zephyr, and the late Alan Clark, apart from his liking for Bentley and Rolls Royce enjoyed his 2cv's and his Porsche running geared Beetle

 

I think his excellency the pope has an old Fiat to run around in in preference to the bulletproof limousine

Disappointed?   I thought it was going to concern Indian-built Morris Cowleys.  Wounded.

[alf892]

Specifically see if she is interested in being patron of the Cars and Girls thread.....

 

I'm thinking perhaps a few candid (know what i mean etc...)pics with slightly less clothes for starters but maybe then themes?? Y'know.....leather....sexy secretary...nurse.

 

All in good taste obvs

[Junkman]

I thought the Pope has a 200k mile Renner 4?

[anonymous user]

I forgot about the Renault, I was thinking of this

Here is a bigger pic of Jan Thompson and the Ã… koda Embécko/1000MB:

 

 

One for the cars and girls thread I think.

 

Not exactly a claim to fame to be honest, but the former head of Birmingham City Clowncil, Mike Whitby drives a K-reg Rover Sterling. His wife has a Rover 200 Coupe.

Ming Campbell used to have an XJ-S, but he flogged it a few years ago to prove how "green" he was - though it escapes me how flogging an old car that was sitting in a barn was supposed to save the planet (unless it was to a scrappy) ...

^ Ming Campbell flogging his XJS was such a hollow 'green' publicity gesture IMO. He probably had use of a different car for party duties, bet it sat about doing few miles etc.

 

On the subject of jaaags, I think Musician Pete Docherty had a soft spot for xj40s and reportedly owned several during the noughties.
