Thumbs down Charles and Camilla's Bentley

The ultimate police car?

The one that was all decorated up after the wedding had flashing blues in the grille. As this is illegal on a civilian motor it must belong to the emergency services. How can they justify spending shedloads of public money on a 'police car' like that? Or is it sponsored by the royal family

I guess it has the flashing blue lights for when it's being driven by the Royal Protection Unit?

Not only is Charlie a big fan of Bentleys, but also Aston Martins (there was once a "Prince of Wales" spec) and Bristols (calm down!)

He might be a bit odd, but he's got a decent taste in cars.

I thought they'd used the old Bentley owned by Her Maj - the one she had built in the 70s or 80s or summat?

Anyway, who'd dare to pull him over for breaking traffic laws

So he has these motors that are terribly "fuel efficient" and then lectures the rest of us about how concerned he is for the environment, planet etc.
Hhmm.

I ain't fussed what he does, so long as he doesn't try to tell me what to do, or influence those who, unfortunately, can tell me what to do.
Simple.

I'm not hot under the collar, just devil's advocating.

So it would be alright for me to put blue lights behind my grille, then if a policeman needs to drive my car it is all prepared?

PS I don't think that you'll find anything against C&C in my posts, its just the car I was commenting on.
