Stretched SUV
In Mile End tonight I watched with amazement at a what can only be
described as a genuine american-style stretched SUV. Funny thing was, the numberplates were'nt in any script I couldrecognise. Not Japanese, Chinese, Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic. I assume it's exempt from the congestion charge in that case. As it's not hard to hide a stretched SUV, why dod they police fail to pull these types of vehicles over? -- Everything I write here is my personal opinion, and should not be taken as fact. |

And possibly Nepalese, though I'm not sure about that one. As it's not hard to hide a stretched SUV, why dod they police fail to pull these types of vehicles over? Given that you watched with amazement, you obviously don't see many of them, so how do you know? What did this one do, anyway? |

Drifting OT given this is utl but I was out in Manchester the other week and was getting a lift home in a taxi when a stretched Porsche Cayenne with those "bling" revolving hub-caps pulled up alongside us. The taxi driver nearly creamed his pants :) -- ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Please reply to the group Replies to this address will bounce! ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,,,,ø¤º°`°º¤ø |

writes In Mile End tonight I watched with amazement at a what can only be described as a genuine american-style stretched SUV. I saw what I thought was a stretch SUV parked on the King's Road one evening sometime last year. A closer inspection revealed that it was actually two, the front end of one connected by a wrap around shell, of the same colour and painted to look like a stretch vehicle, to the rear end of the other. I think it was a promotional stunt for either a restaurant or club opening. -- congokid Good restaurants in London? Number one on Google http://congokid.com |

Paul Weaver ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying : In Mile End tonight I watched with amazement at a what can only be described as a genuine american-style stretched SUV. Funny thing was, the numberplates were'nt in any script I could recognise. Not Japanese, Chinese, Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic. I assume it's exempt from the congestion charge in that case. If it's not UK registered, then I don't think it's exempt, but it's more a case of not being able to enforce it. But since it probably seats more than 9 people, it'd be exempt anyway. |
