Edit: I thought by "stats" you meant the car's tech specs, but I've just looked on the website you mentioned and the "stats" you mention are stuff like mileage, outstanding finance, vin check etc - why would you do that?Great collection OP  (and loving the signage in the garage!) No, it's cool, I've always wanted my own stalker! Lol!! The plate has only just gone on, give it a couple of weeks and it should be all sorted............

The app on my phone gives yOu everything from a reg and I was out and about. Just thought I'd got it wrong. Nothing stalkerish intended at all. Lol

I spent the entire time giggling like a right idiot every time it got massively sideways. Huge fun so thanks again. My pleasure and thank you, I remember you Dude, it was a little slippery out there for our laps Didn't recognise it to begin with as the wheels are black now. Would of looked mean if you'd got a black one then painted wheels black etc. Did your tyres need replacing after the day?

Just brought these:  Going for this sort of look (wheels only, not the rest of bodykit)  Assuming they look good, in fairness I will probably turn the original wheels back to how they were.........

Don't say that, I really wanted a black one but just couldn't find one with the right bits on it for the right price! Haven't brought new tyres just yet but they certainly are very close to needing replacing sine that day!

Amazing cars and garage! Random question but where do you get signs like that from? Just eBay and the like?

Great cars, especially the range from your Ford speedster to the SLS- the Range itself isn't bad i'm sure. But I love the garage even more. Not because it's a billionaire's dream garage, but because it shows what you can do with a fairly normal starting point -I say this having no garage :-(
well done OP!

Is there a story behind the Bentley grille? No, no, bud, doors are up just for artistic effect The Bentley grill is off my old GTC that I then put the speed front end and wheels on, and I'm sorry again, but painted the wheels black!!!!!! So that left me with the original grill to throw on the wall  If you look just below it and to the right on the wall, you'll also see the old speedo from my former Fiat 500, the hurtling tangerine that went by the name of Giuseppe! I miss him sometimes and I still feel drawn to them as they rock, might well have to buy another one at some point.......

Piersy said: George, George, George! As long as you like them then I guess it doesn't matter I do like the SLS btw. I loved the one I tested, except I found the cabin to be a bit cramped for such a big car and when I got out I smacked my head on the door in front of everyone at the dealership
