There's at least one black one and one white one in London, but I haven't seen any pink ones.

I've seen the pink one several times around several London, usually crammed with howling troglodytes up from Essex pointing and gibbering at the magic electric lights of the big city.

Luke and I saw that the other week. It's so long it can't even turn a corner without doing a ten-point turn. Really, what does it say besides "no brain, too much money?"

Exactly.
I saw it drive off and it took him two attempts to go around the corner. How something like this is even legal is beyond me.

It looks like it has the same wheelbase as a mid-sized lorry so presumably it just requires an HGV licence to drive.

I'd say it was longer than that.

30-33ft according to the 'net. Since coaches and buses regularly reach 11m it's not an unprecedented length. (Even if it is a bit silly!)

I guess it looks longer because it's not as high as a bus. Does that make sense?

Yes - aspect ratios! :-)

(Also, the wheels are much closer to the ends.)

I guess for the same reason limosines are legal.

I haven't seen one that long before, though.
However, thinking about it, it probably wasn't longer than a 60 seater coach.

Saw one, probably that one, yesterday too. Driving past around Russell Square.

I doubt or at least sincerely hope there aren't more of these..

I saw a similar Beast in the grounds of Greenwich Hospital, so hideously inappropriate...

Now you've said that, I want it to be used as my hearse when I die.

Maybe with a burberry coffin, for that extra classy touch.

With the tartan burberry studded with red and white swarovski crystals.

That is cool and wrong at the same time!

Hehehe! That is funny. Although I would hate to try to park it anywhere! :D

He actually had to back up so he could get around the corner. o_O

Eeeek, yes, imagine driving that around London! Horror! It's bad enough driving a normal car!

It's like a giant dildo with wheels!
