Black and Silver, Flagged

by James on Dec 20, 2009 in Noted

Every car in these pictures is black or silver, and is made by BMW or Mercedes. Every car has a 3 letter numberplate, and a country’s flag attached. Every car is driven by a uniformed chauffeur. Every car is here to remove a dignitary from the State Opening of Parliament, and I could only get this close to them on a bicycle.

Parked almost touching, no way to even step between each

Parked an inch apart, no way to even step between each

Chauffeurs gossip by a row of 6-doors

James you’re brave taking pictures of Thames House !

Still, with such an English bicycle you can hardly be anyone they need to worry about … !!

“Excuse me sir can you move a long plea-
Oh.
Sir, I am sorry. I didn’t realise.
Hawkins, let this gentlemen through, he’s on a Guvnor.”

Anyway, you wait until my coverage of London Duck Tours driving into the river in the shadow of SIS…

Yes in ‘todays’ political climate, you really could have only got away with that if you were Japanese, female, or well turned out with little to no facial hair.

Good job!
