I'm completely at a loss about the how and when, but this are some pictures about later the same day. Can someone British please explain the slogans?

Well the most obvious is the "G-force not G20" which is referring to the climate summit that just wrapped up. That's not particularly British. "LP640" is a Lamborghini, not sure what P45 references. I imagine "I don't love you darling" must refer to the driver's thoughts on his vehicle.

The cars are also equiped with loud speakers so I can only imagine what they're hollering around town.

So this wrapped up pretty much like I expected. Just because they're DRIVING cars doesn't mean they're being nice about them.

Today is Budget day in the UK and Alastair Darling is the Chancellor of the Exchequer so it looks like they were commenting on that.

And if you wanted to know a P45 is the British tax form.

And Darling announced today in the budget that there is now a higher tax bracket - if you earn over £150k (that's the boys then) you have to pay 50% tax. Bloody conservatives will really hate that.

I suggested they do this on the forum a few weeks ago;

Quote:
My idea; the financial strapped episode of the new series!

They could do with an episode in the next series where they design their own cars with insulting messages towards bankers on the sides. They could drive through the financial heart of London
Nice to see they read the forums.

Thanks guys.

Shows James can multitask and I am sure he was just holding that cigarette for someone else, because as we all know, James doesn't smoke.
