you git. you own one of my dream cars!
I had two model cars that I coveted during my schooldays...one was a yellow 348ts and the other was a white carrera with red fuchs alloys...bastard!
I now await your next purchase of an aston martin vantage from 1994 (in red) and you will have owned all the cars on my to do list!
