Yesterday morning I was walking around Central London, where you can usually see plenty of expensive cars, but here's a few that caught my eye:
This Hummer H2 (a rare sight in England) was parked outside a large house (on the A4 Piccadilly, a few doors away down the Japanese Embassy) that was once the residence of Lord Palmerston (19th century British Prime Minister), so it seemed a little strange to see a brash American SUV outside a house like this, it's the only reason I took a photo of it, I thought "what the hell is this doing outside a building that look it's used for diplomatic and government purposes?"
Looks out of place, doesn't it?
I walked through Mayfair, passing Berkeley Square where I saw a lot of film set trailers (from Translux), then I came to Grosvenor Square, where there were lots of people dressed in 60s clothing, as hippies and policemen, they were extras for a new film called Hippie Hippie Shake starring Sienna Miller, they were about to film a anti-Vietnam war protest reconstruction. Down the street where a couple of old police vans, obviously for use as period vehicles for the film.
I think this is a Ford Transit
An Austin Morris van
A Mercedes A-Class with diplomatic plates (anyone remember the recent discussion on the A Fish Named Wanda page?), 103 means Argentina.
As soon as saw this huge Peterbilt truck parked outside a posh hotel I knew it was that truck Chris Eubank drives. You wouldn't normally see a vehicle like this (European lorries look different to American ones and are somewhat smaller) in a rich part of London, unless it was Chris Eubank's. Notice the numberplate 1KO (KO as in the boxing term).
A Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. At first I thought it was the new 599.
