NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Freezing fog, roads slippier than a bar of soap in a hot-tub and huge queues Southbound.....and what comes off the slip road at the Metro Centre but a silver Pagini Zonda!!!! He then turned straight off at the Dunston slip road and disappeared...and he wasn't hanging about either. Was being very closely followed by a black Range Rover Vogue (car was right behind him all the way - bodyguards perhaps!). Footballer perhaps. Unsure - never seen it here before.

Woppum Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Not a footballer. The car is way too good for them! I recon its Phillip Green taking a quick dash back to Monte Carlo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyDub Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 In my opinion, this car wins @rse of the year! I love the way those quad pipes are set out. Mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 My fave car of all time. It is the benchmark for all supercars. This is what a supercar should look like, not like the rest of the over absorbed tampons out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Correct - in Geordieland - right outside the Metro Centre at 7.20am!!!! Awesome sight - first time I've seen it on the road. Can't be Philip Green - he wouldn't fit in it. The more I think of it the more convinced I am the RR Vogue was shadowing it for security. I won't post the full plate but it was R?A ?? - where the ? is a character or number. Rowan Atkinson cross my mind because I know he's a car fanatic?

Ian_C Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Quite possibly considering his middle name is Sebastian and he was born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. 'RSA 1X' sounds likely. Top Spotting Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 But why would mr Bean need security?? I know he crashed the F1 so maybe they're paramedics?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 He was born in Newcastle? You sure about that? It wasn't 1X on the end.....but you got the middle initial! Wow - I wonder...but why the bodyguards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Exactly - why the bodyguards for him? Look I could be wrong, maybe the RR Vogue was just admiring it - but it was within 20 feet of the rear at all times (except when he accelerated off at Dunston!) but it joined at the same slip road and left at the same slip road - and those that know the slip roads will know it was an unusual place to come onto the A1 and then take the next junction off.

Ari Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Imagine the sheer scale of pointlessness in having a car that fast and being unable to drive faster than the following Range Rover at all times! Might as well go sit in the Range Rover, you'll be there just as quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Am I the only one who doesn't like the look of the Pagani? It is far too fussy for my liking - I think the F40 and Koenigsegg are far far better looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Ari, so so true!!!! The irony of it...Pagini Zonda....limited by the all terrain wanderer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think it is only right I make a point here: I too wasn't a huge fan of the shape on the Zonda - until I saw it on the road. The sheer prescence of this car is incredible. Wide doesn't even begin to describe it. Quite how he'd manage on the Dunston road he was heading for I don't know - because the ground clearance was minimal. I should also add that I had all windows up, there was a car in front of me, and I heard the Zonda before I saw it coming up the slip road. Then, as it dashed off the next slip road - well - my seats are soiled. The cars to the side all looked. Its the modern day equivalent of the Countach styling when it first came out, though perhaps a touch less radical for the age, but it really does drop your jaw quicker than Lennox Lewis when you've called his mam a fat girl.
