En route to london for a rendez-vous * with a film producer, to buy his ropey limo

* i will not strap a camera to the front of the crown vic and drive at high speed around soho, i promise.

if you need somewhere to dump said Limo for the day, give me a shout, I mean Soho aint a million miles from here, (I once went on a lightbulb "pub crawl" around soho, good times) and Ill happily use a 24 hour vistors parking permit, just to get a chance to have a good look at the beast  

(and the thought of parking such a beast in the dead end here amuses me greatly)

Can you wind the partition up and lock the back doors when they start getting rowdy?

Parked up after a bit of a late evening cruise about 

Some interesting company

Overnight parking more than the purchase price?

Would have thought it would  be a  Cygnet rather than an IQ in the other company.

Its a bit peculiar as the quoted address is the  rear entrance, only after we arrived did the penny drop…

I went to the original Marquee, but only once. It was very small & dingy and the band, Amazon were OK. According to Malc MacMillan in the NWOBHM encyclopaedia; "They produced melodic rock with singing in the style of Pat Benatar.  In the promotional text to 'Hypnotising You', the group was described as a mixture of Rainbow, Fleetwood Mac, The Who and The Police". - Hmmm

Some tracksuited 'entrepreneur' who has escaped Ukraine's military draft to bravely take his G Wagen shopping in London, I guess.

One for the parking thread 😆

 

 

 

(Given the circumstances, a free pass is issued)

[Matty]

Anyhow, what I really want to know is:

A) what is it like to drive?

B )  is it appreciably different to your last crown Vic? (Obvious not withstanding)

I was thinking he did well to get the front wheels in the box. It might be an extra-wide space?

[timolloyd]

It’s a coach space
