Clarkson, Hammond and may are at the Fairmont yvr lobby right, just snapped pictures!!

JSALES 11-23-2014 04:42 PM

Saw them too

Harvey Specter 11-23-2014 04:50 PM

Super nice guys but they look tired as hell. Fluke I caught them because I was at the Fairmont with the wife for afternoon tea (don't ask) and I'm walking out when I'm like "holy shit it's Clarkson!". Snapped a couple pictures and wish them a safe trip back to London.

Ronin 11-23-2014 05:57 PM

LOL were they at Aberdeen? That must be the most perilous thing they've ever experienced.

JayEch 11-23-2014 06:25 PM

Anyone know when their flight is?

boostfever 11-23-2014 06:34 PM

Already done? Damn, their schedule is intense. No wonder Clarkson has aged so badly lol

Ronin 11-23-2014 07:28 PM

Really? They only film like 12 episodes a year...if that.

But I guess that's intense for three middle aged men.

Harvey Specter 11-23-2014 08:24 PM

It was the BA flight which left at 8:55pm.

Well they were only in Vancouver for 72 hours and most of the time of were traveling and driving so fatigue does set in.

This fine young lad literally jumped out of his house and drove to Trail as soon as he knows they were stuck there.

Plus I'm guessing they were jetlagged as hell, these shoots where they're only in an area for a couple days before zipping off someplace else have got to be hard on someone.

ae101 11-24-2014 07:41 PM

According to the one news post it's supposedly a Hennessey VelociRaptor SUV

thumper 11-25-2014 10:58 AM

wow... just googled it. i always thought henessey only did GM and viper stuff.

so is it part of a group (i can't identify the other vehicles in the pic... white audi q7?) or are they just going on a roadtrip/epic drive in the ford?

looks like every car on the left is a ford even the one the the far back

capt_slo 11-25-2014 12:15 PM

Looks like the Daily Mail is trying to kick up a fuss (pageviews) for no plates on the Raptor. :lawl:

Lots of pics of the truck etc though...

thanks for posting that.

just watching the footage of their arrival at the airport. nice to see they are very accomodating to the fans... where did they fly in from? was it england or did they travel directly from another location/country?

It seems that bitching about every potential infraction TG could commit is 90% of what the DM writes about. Fucking idiots.
