Five blacked out Range Rovers heading into Southend?
 

On Saturday morning, very early (04.45) i was returning from an airport drop back into Southend along the A13. When i got to Cuckoo Corner/Hadleigh, i came up behind a blacked-out black Range Rover, who wasn't doing 30mph shall we say. After i overtook him, i was mildly amused that the car infront of it was a blacked-out, black Range Rover, also not hanging about. Having got past two, it became apparent that i was in the middle of a convoy of five identical cars.

It was too early/late for me to bother following them beyond Leigh, and if i'm honest it was all a bit sinister-looking, but does anyone have any clue whatsoever what i stumbled across? They obviously didn't want many people to see them at that time of morning but i just can't think of any plausible explanation for a convoy of five black, blacked-out Range Rovers heading towards Southend.

Any suggestions? Airport for a celebrity/football team? MOD? Gangland "business"? :wonder:

That does sound pretty cool if nothing else. I would have liked to have seen that myself... part of the coolness is not knowing what is was all about.

If you found out it was JLS or the Wanted coming home after a concert each one in separate cars then it'd spoil it and you wouldnt feel that cool tellin ppl you saw a boy band on their way home, blacked out Ranges or not lol

Crap funeral where they`d lost the hearse?

Forget what you see in films mate, there are no members of any part of the MOD that cut around in convoys of blacked out range rovers. If certain parts of the armed forces want to go un-noticed, they will cut around in normal cars, looking like every day people.

Probably some jumped up, over-paid nancy boy footballers or something.

Yea the boys now use landrover discovery instead ;)

The royalty protection still used rangerovers tho might of been them

Look at the evidence - Dark tinted Range Rovers in Essex - what's so strange about that? :idea: Probably a bunch of Chavtastic young mums taking their tribe to Legoland!

:lol: PMSL

Usually royalty (could be minor in the grand scale) or politicians. Seen it done over here a few times.

5 is a lot though

Probably the latest batch of Crispy Creme doughnuts on their way to the boys in blue.... the escort was there to make sure they got through OK.........:p

Not really, couple of cars containing the VIPs,security both sides. one in front, one behind and the guys who know where they are going in front! lol, like ducks in the V formation!

Maybe the eastenders lot doing there filming lol

wasnt v festival on and around that area?

How bizarre! Did you notice if they had private plates?

Wills and Kate on their way to the arches on the front, for breakfast? - 2 bacon 2 sausage, egg, beans, 2hash browns and a fried slice. £5.95

wasnt slim shady playing at v over the weekend?

Eminem and D12 going to Southend Airport to get their Helicopter to V festival as they were playing on Saturday ;)

Would explain it!

@ 4:45 am?

Yeah, because they're f***in' gangster 'y0

gaddafi!

it was me
 

you got mi bro:notworthy

Lmfao :lol1:

It definately has something to do with V Fest, probably just the event chaffeurs laid on for the Celebrities.

maybe the v festival celebs were flying out of southend airport as they were going that way and not toward chelmsford where v was :confused:

The first performance was on the Saturday afternoon so they would have been flying into Southend at silly o'clock. All the big US artists like Eminem and Riahana etc played on the Sunday.

My daughter text'd me from Vfest saying she was watching a white bloke trying to be a black bloke!:Whatever_ That must have been Eminem, then? I suggested she demand her money back!:norty:
