hmmm.... not something you see everyday!

OK, and here we go... a week in three pictures...!

First off the blocks...

Virgin just made an impression, and not in a good way.

As you can see, he's parked, his left indicator going. So, let's see...

He's not working for a statutory Authority (private telephone/cable comms company), so that excuse is out...

He's not an emergency vehicle, so that excuse is out too...

He's certainly not driving a bus, or an authorised TfL vehicle, so that final excuse is out too...

Oh yeah, and and he's hopefully going to receive a fine in the post, as that particular bus stop is occasionally monitored by the local council from their CCTV offices...

Next up...

That HAD to hurt!

This is what's left of what I think was a rather expensive Audi, which by all accounts tried to go around a busy roundabout the wrong way. You can see the Transit it tried to argue with.

There were three lanes available here, before chummy decided to play chicken with a white rented van (not a clever move by any stretch of the imagination - didn't he know the reputation of White Van Man?)

Anyhow, the upshot is right there...

One complete write-off, and another in the workshops for a while... Oh yeah, and the Old Bill were there, scratching their heads after the event, wondering, just like the rest of us, just what the hell was going through the Audi Driver's mind when he pulled that mad stunt!

And lastly...

Here's something you don't see every day!

Southern Trains, and how they get replacement rolling stock to their depots...

Like the rest of us, I guess I assumed that they sensibly shifted their rolling stock by rail (it's a train carriage, it runs on rails, ergo, they move them around on the rails, right?

Wrong.

No wonder this was travelling late in the evening, it really gummed up the works.

The trailer it's on had a steering rear axle set-up, and boy, did it need it - that's a right angle turn it's performing, and even with the steering axle, it had to back up and try again a few times - all at VERY low speed!

I even had a few passengers grabbing their camera-equipped phones to take pictures!

Nice to know I'm not the only one!
