    Obamas Limo needs sliders ; ))

    .....And an underbody bash plate.
    If you missed this the other day:
    Obama is visiting Ireland but came to grief leaving a reception.
    I'll bet it needs new upholstery inside, too.


    The route recce team is looking for a new job : ((

    they can put a man on the moon but couldnt get over a hump in the road

    now if they had been in a range rover like the royal family it would not have been a problem

    Yeah, that was me that pointed out the front suspension failing.

    That thing is around 8 tonnes and the front slammed down pretty quickly. No way a bump did that, the hydraulics failed I reckon!

    The noise inside the car would have been bad enough, but can you imagine the radio chatter, and the sheer panic of the Secret Service



    Hmmmm me thinks that the advance team might have some explaining to do. That car is supposed to be able to survive anything, and keep moving. Collapsed suspension or not, being beached on the driveway like that, means that the car was going no-where, and is a sitting duck.

    There goes plan a, plan b & proably plan c as well....
