Just think - that Bentley owner could have "My other vehicle is a f**king great trailer with a with a racing DB4 in it" in the rear window...

His DB4 was FTD apart from the single seaters...

Looks like I missed a good day Prof. We are doing some work in the garden so could'nt come. Did you meet Tony? (the one with the girly Clio)

[Boosted LS1]

Heck, all those cars in just the one trailer. Spiffing.

Sorry to be a read Nerd, but its a DB4 not a DB4 GT. Its owned by Pete Foster, who tarilers it everywhere behind the Bentley (he's the one in the photo of the DB4 with the red top on and black fireprrof overalls. Its a great car. Very light and very quick. He took me around Masllory once. To go around Gerrards overtaking, on the outside a Ferrari 355 race car was great fun.

My best in the four bed detached was 40.22, got it on video, but it's on old fashioned tape, so can't post it. Although I could film it off the telly with my Everio I guess
