Thanks for the pictures - that’s only about an hour and a half from me so must be done.

I was in Germany the other week, switched on the TV in my hotel room and by chance saw a half hour programme about it, as well as interviewing the owner. Amazing cars. They even took the presenter out onto the roads in their 8 litre Bentley.

Unfortunately no one offered to take me out in any of them. I did notice just how many of them were on battery conditioners which would suggest they get used at least a little but.

Towards the end of the programme, they went into a separate hall where the reserve collection was stored, all hidden under dust sheets. The curator gave the presenter a sneaky peak of a patinated ex Le Mans C-Type Jaguar and then promptly informed the viewers on two occasions that it was a D-Type Jaguar! Dummkopf!

I'm more shocked at a Lambo having a front number plate fitted, and not just that, a legal size/font, although it doesn't appear to be actually registered. hehe
Just a bit giddy with a new toy no doubt, became legit overnight:

Cheating as in a dealer, but I bet this shifts - Brabus Bi-Turbo 800 (as in bhp eek ). Mind you, it’ll cost ya: €299,000

It’s definitely a “challenging” look.

Hi there

The Bugatti Centodieci was at Bicester Heritage today for the Sunday Scramble. It was only there briefly this morning (the owner and the car left about 10:45am) but knowing it was on site I headed straight to see it having missed it at a few events in the past.

To my eyes that is an awful looking thing...
Yep. Looks ridiculous. But as the old saying goes, money can’t buy taste.

Saw these two beauties yesterday in Woking, Surrey.
Looks like they were both participating in the London to Lisbon rally - looks good fun.

That's the cheapo entry level pov spec version - your neighbours will sneer at you. You need the full fat hairy chested 900ps , 1,250nm version on 24" rims for €400,000

But it can buy an a lot of other items.

I’d have it in a heartbeat. If I could afford to run it .
