High tide Merc
Galloway's luxury convertible floodedMP George Galloway's flashy car was a washout when a heavy storm struck. The downpour came just seconds after Gorgeous George parked the luxury convertible red Mercedes - with its top down. Aides to Dundee-born Galloway, who founded his own Respect party after Labour booted him out, rushed to save the £70,000 car. But fellow MPs seemed to enjoy the spectacle outside Westminster once they discovered who the owner was. One witness said: "They seemed very concerned that the owner be alerted. "It has to be said that they did seem less worried once they discovered the identity of the owner." Galloway's aides eventually moved the car from New Palace Yard to safety - but not before the inside had filled with water. A spokesman for Galloway, who was ridiculed for his antics on reality show Celebrity Big Brother, including mimicking a cat, said: "There was no lasting damage." Posted by: ryuge 2006-07-13 |
