That was just an epic moment

When the Aston came out the gates I have to say my Gast was well and truly flabbered!

I'm sure he's tried it out before. Wonder how many others have driven it.

The moment he sets tyres on a public road he's committing an offence - I can imagine Chief of Plod crushing his coffee cup in impotent rage...

It was on a closed road.

The whole route was closed though. Hence why they didn't have to wear seat belts or display tax disks.

Or, presumably, be too worried about whether he'd had a glass or two too many

Fair point, hadn't realised. But they'd have to close all of it between the Palace and his destination - or he transhipped to something else round the corner.

That black XJ would have looked nice if it had had four round headlights. The back is beyond redemption though; have to gaffertape some cardboard boxes over that bit.

I'm sure that the Queen's cars don't have number plates, is it the same for the rest of the family?

Does it matter?

He just whisked his new bride away in a classic Aston Volante which the RAF gave him a fly past down the most famous street in the world, with a dodgy number plate and knowing no police in the world could touch him.

For a bloke I always thought was a little too uptight as far as Im concerned he's just about pulled off the "coolest" act by a bloke in a motorcar since Steve Mac sat in his XKSS.

I bet every greenie, Republican and Brake wannabee were grinding their teeth into dust. Absolute fking perfection. The boy just put one in the back of the neck for the home team and about bloody time someone did. No hint of any grovelling apology or excuse, he just did it.
