London Sightings

I am currently on my second trip to Yeovil which is about 120 miles west of London. Upon my arrival the first time I had a pretty nice E220:

I enjoyed driving it for a week…but, on my second trip out I asked for something a bit different:

Being that my first trip was pretty much all business I took extra time and made it a point to go into the city of London. Here is what I saw:

And in no particular order as I spotted these around the city…

This way the type of Bus I toured on:

…and the Big Red Bus:

Lastly, no trip to London would be complete with awesome shots of the landmarks:

I also made a stop a RNAS Fleet Air Museum…HIGHLY recommended to any aviation buff if you ever have the opportunity to stop in:

I have TONS of photos on my digital camera’s internal memory but forgot my USB chord like an asshole. Fuuuuuuuuuu.

Thanks for sharing :tup: Hope to go there one day myself.

3

+1 Neat stuff!

4

Nice! And you spotted an Exige V6!

5

If you do go, and I suggest everyone make it a point to visit, I definitely recommend public transportation into and around London…you will not find a parking space. I tried for 3 hours my first trip out. It’s better to take the bus from your hotel to the station.

:tup: … So many other things I did not get pictures of. I would have loved to be there for their London Motor show…I may make it at point to come next year: http://thelondonmotorshow.co.uk/

I knew you’d like that…I some pretty neat Lotus cars in and around the country side. No chance to take photos though. London seems more for “showoffs” where as the countryside is more “enthusiasts”…if that makes sense.

:tup:

7

Good stuff! Some neat cars but that Concorde would be the highlight for me.

8

Very neat - been there a few times myself. If you make your way towards Hyde Park, you’ll see some incredible machinery. London has the most billionaires per capita in the world and the stuff you see just cruising around everyday is top shelf. Great pictures!

That grey exige looks awesome.

10

That black 997 looks awesome.

Anyway, looks like a good time, thanks for showing us what we are missing out on!
