Default Three point turn in 'The Beast'

With a tripping X factor wannabee leading the way...

BBC NEWS | UK | Parking 'The Beast' at Downing Street

It's quite a big bugger ain't it!

Obama Rolls In An Armored Cadillac Stagecoach | Autopia from Wired.com

"Although many of the vehicle's security enhancements cannot be discussed, it is safe to say that this car's security and coded communications systems make it the most technologically advanced protection vehicle in the world," Nicholas Trotta, assistant director for the Secret Service Office of Protective Operations, said in a statement
I wonder if it has anti missile systems like his chopper?!?!

And 500 staff.

The hand gestures are funny, When we have deliveries its goes like this
"Barry..... Barry...... BARRY YOU ***.... back it up"
barry:
"Im on the phone"
me
"Ok, im going in, dont hit anything"

Seems to work fine for us.

Can't think how anyone can justify 2 X Jumbo's and 500 people as well as that montrous car to come over here for a short stay like that.

They ought to have retractable wheels under the car to act like those sideways acting reversible propellors on the swish boats to make mooring up easier.

Les, Bowthrusters is the word you were after.

Is a bit of a laugh, two 747's for one bloke to come over and have a chat about carbon emmissions.

Lol, he saw the camera's and in a typical yank gung-ho manner over acted/hammed it up..!

The actual turn was quite impressive for such a monster vehicle, but the steering's soon going to get shagg3d, going lock to lock on the spot with 8ton weighing it down..!

Yep, the 2x 747's 3x choppers 500x personnel etc is a bit of a joke when you consider they're discussing carbon emissions..! Lol, and here's me thinking the 'mercan's don't get irony..?

I think thats good driving on the drivers behalf. I see women and old folk at sainsburys every week who cant turn a mini, or daewoo matiz round in twice as much space.

I think they've built 3 of them for him. the tints and glass is so thick, it needs interior lights on inside to see.

how things have changed- i remember mrs thatch pulling up outside no 10 in a rover P5 !!!

see protesters have been attaching the RBS.

anyway- appropriate VIZ top tip for today.

anarchists- don't forget when smashing the state not to do it on wednesday, as thats when you get your dole cheque.
