Really? To me she looks bloody awful.

Ditching a new born as well... must be a delightful human being.

Not defending him but he didn't ditch the kid I hope, just the mother.

I'm sure your multi millionaire, globetrotting, internationally recognised girlfriend is a better catch than ole ginger.

MK1 Cobras have a 260 ci engine.

Looks like a MK2 rep to me.

indeed, you're correct on the Mk1 - but that 289 looks "right" despite appearing to be a bit too new (shiny oil cooler, etc). Could be one of the recent repros/Kirkham.

His expression says he's fed up with the Paps or their questions? But doesn't that go with the territory if you're involved with a celeb?

If it wasn't him wouldn't she be hanging off of the arm of someone else 'famous' to get herself into the press?

I think the Cobra should sue for having to be involved in it all really.

I'm sure you are being sarcastic. Ms. Halliwell is no 'catch' - she's done the rounds and I'm sure she'll be moving on to the next sucker in the limelight before too long, which everyone knows and just makes Horner look like even more of a dick.

Handy if he runs out of fuel though. After all, which Spice Girl can carry 10 litres of petrol?

I would hope so, but it would hardly be the first time that both are ditched for a new model. It happened to my girlfriend, and has happened to other friends as well.

All of those things you mentioned don't really rate highly on my scale. I care more about, you know, what they're like as an individual and what not and not their personal accomplishments to date. How prehistoric of me.

Seeing as I don't know "ole ginger", I'll just stick to my opinion (emphasis on opinion) that she looks awful and carry on about my normal business.

It was the grille that made me think repro.
It just looks too shiny......and the motalita steering wheel.

Having said that, if I had his money and a Z lister to impress, I'd want the real thing.

Maybe it is the real thing?

With his money he can certainly a new one.

Can't quite read the stickers in the top passenger corner of the screen, but I lean gently towards real-but-over-restored. Same for the car.

IIRC he recently ditched his wife and newborn child for a go of the ginger one.

Indeed, all a bit sleazy if you ask me.

40 years old and all those lines; he looks well on to his way to 50, I'm 40 in January do the lines suddenly appear between now and then?!!

And regarding him and Ginge; aren't they getting married soon?

I wonder if he'll manage to say 'I do' instead of the 'Yeah, no' that he usually starts his reply with when asked a question? It may only be me that's noticed he does that...

Perhaps it's the travelling, sun damage and the stress of those World Championships? That and those Red Bull victory parties?

No wonder Merc are taking them to the cleaners this season, now we know...

I'd happily take his Cobra, his bank balance and Ms Halliwell. Not sure I'd want to look like him though. I'm muck older than him and have far fewer lines. It's like one of the old luvvie actors commented on Mick Jagger's "laughter lines", "dear boy, nothing's that funny".

Ha ha I said exactly the same thing to the Mrs about 10 minutes ago.

[tbc]

Wonder if she dresses up in her Union Jack Dress for him

This thread is brilliant.

Would love to see the wives (and we're not talking about your right hand) of the negative commenters.

Oh and, just to answer the question that was asked by the OP, its an AC Cobra, a pretty tidy one at that, i imagine its real with the amount he is worth.
