Atkinson spotted in London
Not particularly exciting, but nice to see the car being used nontheless. Even on a rainy day!

Sweet!
Though I see a post from you in that thread claiming he has a longtail road car. To my knowledge, it's a longtail GTR - #24R - and I'm fairly certain it's not road legal. You should share the interior photo of his car over there: BTW: Anyone else think that PH.com should revoke the membership of someone who sees a McLaren F1 and only takes one picture? >8^) ER Last edited by Peloton25; 09-15-2005 at 11:50 AM. |

Just slightly off topic. I caught a bit of a programme on which had Mel Smith (of the comedy series Smith and Jones) talking about his Rolls Royce Corniche. A truely beautiful car. He was the director on "Mr Bean the Movie" And he talked briefly about the time Rowan took him out in the F1.
He said the same thing everyone says. That when you're in another fast car the rate of acceleration starts to slow as you get to 90,100,110. But he said in the F1 even when your up to 160 its still going and he said he was scared Nice to see Rowan uses his how it should be

Re: Atkinson spotted in London
Yes he has. Hit a Maestro IIRC. That was back in 99

Re: Atkinson spotted in London
I remember. It made a real mess of the nose cone area. But the Rover he hit, only had a small dent.
He is fundamentally a nice bloke though, so Im not surprised he was concerned for the lady.

Re: Atkinson spotted in London
That's a really cool pic, would be a great one for exoticspotter.com. I love how it's just sitting there making all other vehicles look terrible. I'd probably make that shot my wallpaper if it was big enough. The rainy effect is cool.

Re: Atkinson spotted in London
Has the post been sensored? I don't see any pic?
