It's designed to protect the President from terror attacks but Barack Obama was left red-faced after one of his armour-plated Cadillacs was brought to a halt as it left the U.S. Embassy in Dublin.
The gigantic bomb-proof General Motors vehicle, with eight-inch thick steel on its door, didn't even make it as far as the road outside the consulate.

The car had to be abandoned after the collision in front of waving crowds while Mr Obama and his wife were en route to his ancestral home in County Offaly.

Embarrassing: One of Barack Obama's fleet of armoured cars gets stuck on the ramp of the exit of the U.S embassy in Ballsbridge Co.Dublin"

Luckily, the vehicle that broke down was the spare limo used by the President's Secret Service protection team.
Mechanics rushed in to rescue the vehicle which was lodged helplessly on the ramp, while onlookers stood and watched - some of whom took video footage and photos.
The car, worth over $1million, is 18ft in length, weighs 8 tons and has 8in thick armour plating on its doors.
When the President is riding in one, the vehicle is officially known as Cadillac One. However, it's more apt nickname is 'The Beast'.
Specially built for Mr Obama, the General Motors GM.N vehicle boasts its own oxygen supply in case of chemical attack and puncture resistant, run-flat tyres reinforced with Kevlar.
However none of this, it appears, could overcome the might of a lowly speed hump.
Secret Service spokesman Robert Novy said: 'A Secret Service spare limousine, carrying staff and support personnel only, bottomed out at the top of the driveway rendering the vehicle inoperable. 
'Occupants were relocated into other vehicles and the motorcade departed out another exit without further incident. There were no injuries.
'The size of our vehicles is always an issue and taken into consideration during the advance process. However, it only takes a slight miscalculation for a problem like this to occur.'
The incident will bring Obama's security into question. His aides have gone to great lengths to ensure the President's safety while he's visiting the UK.
Such is the emphasis on security that Mr Obama’s team has even asked to fit bomb-proof double glazing to the windows of his guest suite at Buckingham Palace.

The moves to increase the First Couple’s safety come in the wake of the killing of Osama Bin Laden three weeks ago.
Also joining the President on the trip will be one military officer carrying a suitcase containing America’s nuclear missile launch codes, plus representatives of six departments of state.
Mr Obama himself will fly on Air Force One, which doubles as a flying luxury hotel and command post complete with an operating theatre and gym.
The customised Boeing 747-200B, which is accompanied by a decoy aircraft, is said to cost around £110,000 an hour to run.
After dumping The Beast, Barack and his wife finally made their way to County Offaly, the small Irish village where his great-great-great grandfather once lived and worked as a shoemaker.
He walked the thronged Main Street of Moneygall, where his thrice-removed grandfather on his Kansas-born mother's side, Falmouth Kearney, lived until leaving for the United States in 1850 at the height of Ireland's Great Famine.

Visit: President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama pose with Taoiseach Enda Kenny and his wife Fionnuala at Farmleigh House in Dublin"

Obama's roots in the town were discovered during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Along with first lady Michelle Obama, the president even got to hug a distant relative: Henry Healy, a 26-year-old accountant for a plumbing firm who discovered four years ago he was one of Obama's closest Irish relatives.
The first couple spent extended time greeting the people who had withstood soaking rain earlier to see them. The thrilled villagers, who had been preparing for the moment for weeks, responded rapturously, waving American and Irish flags.
Obama and his wife even had a sip of Guinness each, though the President’s security team have raised eyebrows at Buckingham Palace after they insisted on bringing their own bottled water.

White House staff told the Queen’s household that they could not risk Mr Obama touching a drop of London tap water – or even the palace’s own bottled mineral water.
According to sources, when one staff member asked why, they were told that ‘they didn’t want to risk a change in water in case it gave Mr President a stomach upset’.
The couple will lunch with the Queen before a glittering state banquet in the evening.
The Mail revealed yesterday that White House own portable double-glazing style glass to cover up the 1820s glazed windows in his bedroom in case of a mortar attack
Staff have also revealed that they have been barred from using their mobile phones while the president is in residence due to the communication hardware his security team have brought with them.
And all servants have been subject to a criminal record check, even if one has been carried out already.
Despite all the painstaking precautions that the President's staff have taken to ensure the trip goes without a hitch, none could have anticipated - or controlled - Iceland's most active volcano bursting into life yesterday.

Obama, the First Lady and his staff were forced to cut short his trip to Ireland by the volcanic ash cloud threatening to disrupt flights across Britain.
He had been due to spend the evening in Dublin but instead left early to prevent any chance of getting stuck in his first port of call on the whistlestop four-country, six-day European tour.
'Due to a recent change in the trajectory in the plume of volcanic ash, Air Force One will depart Ireland for London tonight. The schedule for tomorrow will proceed as planned,' a White House official said.
Officials say Obama's schedule in London, where he will spend two days at Buckingham Palace, has not been affected at this point. He is also visiting France and Poland.
The news will be a major disappointment to Obama and his Irish hosts after he reaffirmed the 'bonds of affection' today with a visit to his ancestral home, a pint of Guinness and a speech in the centre of Dublin which even included a line in Gaelic.

RECHRISTENING THE 'SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP'

David Cameron and Barack Obama hailed their countries as being in perfect alignment on economic policy.
Talks on an exit strategy from Afghanistan and the stalemate in Libya will dominate talks between the President and the Prime Minister in Downing Street.
But they are also expected to make clear that they are now largely in step on the issue of deficit reduction.

The Met Office in Britain forecast the cloud - caused by the Grimsvotn volcano, which began erupting on Sunday - would cover all of Ireland, parts of Scotland and norther England by 6am tomorrow.
The president told hundreds of people this afternoon packed on College Green during an open-air celebration of Irish culture that the enduring, centuries-old relationship the U.S. and Ireland enjoyed was bound by history, friendship and shared values.
Obama said: 'Ta athas orm le bheith in Eireann (I'm happy to be in Ireland).'
He said he wished somebody had traced his Irish roots when he was a politician in Chicago, which he dubbed the Irish capital of the mid-west.
He revealed he craved a slot in the local St Patrick's Day parade, only to be given the final place ahead of the street cleaners.
'I bet those parade organisers are watching TV today and feeling kind of bad because this is a parade right here,' he said.

DON'T BETRAY MY GARY, MOTHER TELLS CAMERON

Gary McKinnon’s mother last night pleaded with ministers not to ‘betray’ her son during the Obama visit. 
His mother, Janis Sharp, said the Coalition must now ask the President to end his ordeal when they meet face to face.
For nine years Gary, 45, has been fighting extradition on charges of hacking into Pentagon computers while looking for evidence of alien life.
Doctors say that, if extradited, the Asperger’s sufferer could take his own life.
The Mail has campaigned to have Gary tried in Britain, where his crimes took place.

He referred to his Guinness refreshment in Ollie Hayes pub in the tiny village of Moneygall, Co. Offaly - earlier proclaimed 'delicious' - when he said: 'I feel even more at home after that pint that I had. I feel even warmer.'
It was in Moneygall (pop'n 350) that his thrice-removed maternal grandfather once lived and worked as a shoemaker.
Obama walked the thronged Main Street of the village where his great-great-great grandfather on his Kansas-born mother's side, Falmouth Kearney, lived until leaving for the United States in 1850 at the height of Ireland's Great Famine.
Along with first lady Michelle Obama, the president even got to hug a distant relative, Henry Healy, a 26-year-old accountant for a plumbing firm who discovered four years ago he was one of Obama's closest Irish relatives.
The thrilled villagers, who had been preparing for the moment for weeks, responded rapturously, waving American and Irish flags.
'You look lovely!' one woman exclaimed to Mrs. Obama.
The president held a baby clad in pink hoodie and cap and smiled wide for the crowd. Another boy had climbed high atop the shoulders of a man to get a hello with the president.
Both of the Obamas stretched to shake seemingly every hand they could reach.

The President was met by Ireland's deputy prime minister Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore and his wife Carol Hanney, and U.S. ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney.
The visit lacked the ceremony of last week's state visit of the Queen, with only a small welcoming party waiting on the runway apron to greet the President and shake hands.

The Obamas immediately boarded helicopter Marine One to travel the few miles to the residence of Irish President Mary McAleese in the Phoenix Park, Aras an Uachtarain.
President McAleese greeted President Obama at the front steps of the Aras.
'Thank you so much. We're thrilled to be here,' he said.
And despite the grey skies, the President remarked: 'The sun's coming out - I can feel it.'
He signed the visitor's book before holding private talks in the drawing room of the Aras with the Irish Prime Minister, Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
