  • Ams 1

    Spent most of the driving around London today for work including right through Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. Was waiting in a queue going down The Haymarket when I waved out a black Rolls Royce from my right coming out of Jermyn Street (very famous street for Gent's tailors). Once the car was in front of me, saw the plate and it was AMS 1. I've seen this plate once before on an older Rolls Royce about a year ago on the North Circular. As far as I'm aware, it's Alan Sugar's number plate.

    The Roller was pretty new and what really caught my attention was the 'RR' logo in the centre of the wheels - it didn't turn as the wheels did and always stayed the right way up - how cool is that?

    By the time I'd registered the number plate, the car was in front and couldn't see through tinted glass if anyone was in the back.

    Made an otherwise dull day just a little bit more interesting. :)

      Yes Steve, seen them on buses too. But a fantastically machined RR logo in the middle of an 18 inch wheel on an executive car is in a different league to a grotty Leyland Olympian with a trip counter in the middle on the Wandsworth to Clapham Junction run.... :ack2:

      Not that there's anything wrong with a Leyland Olympian of course........







      Or Wandsworth................







      Or Clapham Junction................................










      How do I get out of this hole? :gnorsi::gnorsi::gnorsi:
