Title: Lunch time ponder...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 15 March 2017, 21:17:51
Maybe I had accidentally snorted whatever "good shit" pmacca is on but at lunch time I took the office chair outside, the sun was beating down, my coffee and nicotine patch had just kicked in and I gotta say the old girls looking good.

A classic. No. But would I want to be parted from my old girl. Hell no.

Love omegas!

If I was allowed to take pictures in the carpark here - I'm not BTW - you'd be thinking I work in a right shithole, but with plenty of nice, quick cars ;D

Looking good, Mr Bear. :y In my opinion the FL model looks far better than the PFL. :y

Unusual colour that I haven't seen before. What is it called? ::) ::) ::) ::) :)

Set of 17" elite alloys and a boot spoiler would set it off nicely.  ;)

It is the sky. Normally Grey I believe. Star silver on a good day.

Wow impressive that you have to hide your cars . Does everyone in the building get a space?  I used to go to ntl head office at Hook quite a bit 15 years ago. I see that nothing has changed regarding digging up road to put in fibre, cable, ducts etc.!!

All change around Sky, old Harrods building gone huge development works. That car park has 6 floors, they are building a second on other side of the site with 9 floors.

Ha, we wish we all get a slot! Hounslow council limit us on spaces, so Sky have around 3 or 4 external car parks and run separate park and ride services for them.

I'm lucky I get to park on site, as I car share.  :)

Looks like a garage full of Bugatti, Ferrari, and Zonda. :y

There is a floor just of "execs" - Often see Ferrari's in there and McLarens, I'll see if I can dig some photos out.

I think that would suit you. Honest I do. :)

I give you my word as a gentleman that you won't look like an ageing lothario when you get behind the wheel. :)

News reporters should be made to say those two words until they can properly pronounce the word 'nuclear', and be told that there is no such word as 'nucular'.

When uncle Rupert buys SKY (again) he will turn that into an expensive block of flats, and all the staff will have to get the bus to work.  ;D
And all those Execs who drive McClarens etc. will be given the boot for allowing SKY news to become a lefty clone of the BBC and allowing SKY Arts to show almost non stop repeats of Tales of the unexpected.  ;D

Given the plate, I'd suggest that belongs to MCL, not a Sky employee ;)

I doubt it, there appears to be a fashion among number plate poseurs, presumably if their particular initials are unavailable, to use number plates with initials that mimic their car model. e.g. BMW 520D, somehow forgetting that us lesser mortals have just read these letters on their boot lid. :-X

I saw Sky director drive it, I believe it was the "loaner" as he normally has a slightly more "normal" McLaren.

Coming from the man with no kids, but drives a diesel Zafira to work. I'm surprised you get there, I think my 2.2 even in it's sorn state would be more fun on a commute  ::)  ;D

I think the Passat CC is a fine looking and probably well made car. In Mr Tunnie's case the only thing I would hide is the engine. ;)

That said, it is starting to go a lot better know :)

The McLaren is the sort of car that the young hooligan in me says "Oh,Yes please!"Unfortunately the rest of me that lives in the real world says"You'd look an even bigger old fool than you already do,especially when crawling out of it on your hands and knees!" :D That's about the only way I'd ever be able to get out of something so low these days :'(
