Morning Mr Evans, nice car!

[Podie]

Wandering through the West End on my way to the office, I found this earlier...



Aside from looking like it's taken a wrong turn from a race track, it's quite amusing to see such a thing just parked in a side street.

I often see Chris Evans' cars parked around the area, but even for the West End this is a staggering sight. Must try and work out what time his radio programme finishes...

[cragswinter]

That secures maximum bloke points

Can't imagine it'd be easy to parallel park the bugger though!

[Podie]

The cars around it are often there, so he was likely to have parallel parked!

Stayed in the Astor Court a few times... usually a quiet hotel. Wouldn't have minded being woken by this though!

[cragswinter]

What an absolute legend. When now faced with any motoring conundrum, I'm just going to ask myself, "what would Evans do?"

[p1doc]

superb-he must be a very good parallel parker!!

What's all this clap-trap about parking - a true PHer would park a birdcage in central London Russ Swift style, shirley.

See his 599 GTO parked at work quite often.

Not seen that for a while.

[TheTurbonator]

Very very lucky man is all I can say.

To be fair, neither have I! It was a regular for a while though.

I need to get into London more often, so many nice cars to see!!

Lucky man and good on him for using it.

[Eighteeteewhy]

Very nice.

ETA....is Chris a PHer? If not I bet he lurks.

[TonyHetherington]

See what time the parking runs out on it ?!

He really does come across as a bl00dy great bloke these days. Living the dream!

He let me have a sit in the Coburn car a while back at Maranellos. He'd left the keys in it!!!




Enjoy in good health, Chris.

He could be more considerate and park outside my favourite coffee shop... Kaffeine is only 100 yards away!

[TonyHetherington]

As others have said - that must have been an absolute mission to park. Well done to the chap - he's doing pretty much what I'd do if I had the money!

Agreed, i've never met him, but i love how he shoehorns talking about cars into every breakfast show he does

How do you know the other cars were there first?

I pass this spot a minimum of twice a day - and the cars around it are often parked there. Whilst I don't know, I'd suggest it was likely he had to parallel park.

Vernon Kay has an M400 Noble and when he does his Radio 1 weekend shows, one of the assistants has to run out and keep tpping up the metre for him Its become a regular on air joke!

I remember seeing Chris Evans in the maserati dealer in Hampshire somewhere when he was with Billie Piper. He was happily chatting away to people and gave a few autographs too.
