tom_paxton Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 RBS new building at Gogarburn, Edinburgh opened officially today by the Queen and Prince Philip, food laid on all day, plus drink all evening. However by far the coolest part was a BMW Williams F1 car doing 150mph (apparently) right outside the building. Mark Webber driving, did about 6 or 7 runs up and down the road with a roundabout at each end. What a noise, awesome. Ah, well, normal day tomorrow...
dougster Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 £7 billion profits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Rob a bank" Now that's funny! NOT. Im sure some of my 'charges' paid for occassion!!!
andy Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I feel I would legitimately be within my rights to invoice RBOS for my additional time taken getting to work because of the traffic delays caused by their new HQ being on my route. Let's see how Fred The Shred reacts!
st3ph3n Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Shame they couldn't have got a WRC car instead. Proper mans sport. 9/10, must try harder.
imprezapete Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 hehe, I know where the vault is in that site I know the guys that made the concrete for it
Johnny50 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I wondered what the noise was... I could hear the F1 car from my house and wondered what the hell it was.. Bugger i missed it.
dave_morgan Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I heard it too (at Sighthill) and thought to myself - "that's a hell of a bike, it sounds like an F1 car !!!" He certainly wasn't hanging around by the sounds of things ! Wish they'd made it a bit better known though - haven't had my dose of live F1 this year
