Royal Visit ?

Went out yesterday for a quick message and was approaching a large roundabout at a shopping complex. Noticed there was a black FL2 GS in front waiting to join the roundabout. I pulled up behind him and then saw another black FL2 waiting to join at the next turn. For a second or two there were three of us in convoy on the roundabout. Very surreal. Felt like I was taking part in a Royal cavalcade. Maybe it’s just me but since I’ve got mine ( one week ) I see them everywhere.

Any self respecting Royal (are there such things?) would be in a Fuji White model Whistle No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

That's a shame LR NUT as they speak very highly of you.

Quite agree Axle . . . . was only in my local, The Sandringham Arms, with Phil last night, and he was saying that he and Liz were looking forward to meeting up with LR again. He didn't even call him Mr Nut, they're clearly on such good terms Wink

Oops. What have I started here? I’m not the biggest royal fan but I do love my black FL2.

Happy to fund Liz and Phil the Greek as the face of UK but it needs to stop there. Just one grace and favour home. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Agreed. Too many minor royals with nothing to do but take holidays. Get a job!!

I am not particularly a royalist but there was an analysis in the financial press a year or two ago where they costed out the Queen and immediate family in terms of income to the country from tourism and UK brand image (apparently the Queen is the most recognised person on the planet) and if it was a business it would probably be in the FTSE100 . By comparison an elected president would probably be even more expensive (remember the proposal for BlairForce One ?) and unlikely to be a crowd puller.
