They're certainly not all Iberian; way too many have E-gear. They are, though, all RWD.

Balboni himself wanted it to be manual.

Everyday is a school day.

I personally treat anyone who ordered an e:gay Balboni with the kind of contempt reserved for rapists, paedophiles and people who let the bog paper hang down the back of the roll. F**king heathens.

Manual, V8, nice interior, 2 doors, lots of kit? Check.



Haggle to £12k? Check.

223k miles? Er, check.

That's ripe for 'mileage correction' then!

Stupid I know but today I am mildly annoyed by the fact I have to go to a meeting in London tomorrow and have just had an email informing me the dress code is "business casual"

What the fk is business casual? Stupid idea. I bet its an American invention.

Trousers (e.g. chinos, not jeans), shirt, jacket (tweed or cord if you're a proper threadist) and a nice pair of shoes.

Simples.

Nice.

A collective decision not to wear a tie does not equal business casual.

I got to the office at 7.45 this morning and left 20mins ago, so the mugginess has rather passed me by.

Linen, in that case.

Where are you based, behind Victoria station?

Not much.

Here's ten minutes of nothing but GT3 RS rally.

Sort of. I'm just off Victoria Street - next door to the RC Cathedral.

Pope's pancake!

Or... Holy crepe!

Sniff Petrol just tweeted something utterly shocking. Apparently the Alfa 4C is wider than a Rolls Phantom - 6'10 wide. That makes it 17mm wider than the new Range Rover and A FOOT wider than an Elise.

Why in Gods name does it need to be that wide?! There are lots of 6'6 width restrictions in London!

Linen? In this weather? You'll look like you've slept in a hedge!

Can't recall the last time I saw one on the road...
