Say It Slowly David. 'Twen-Tee-Free...'

Turbocharged aide-memoire up for grabs on eBay

---

Here's a novel way to help remember tricky numbers like your shoe or collar size, courtesy of footballing leg-end David Beckham.

Fed up with embarrassing squabbles over shirts in the locker room on training days, David cunningly had the number 'twennyfree' embossed, stitched, engraved and possibly enamelled on every free surface on the 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo he drove to the ground.

Thus free to concentrate on his footie, David was reinstated as captain of the England team in 2008 (we learn from Wikipedia), for a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago. The car is now up for sale on eBay, causing almost unprecedented levels of excitement across the internet. Well, that's football.

maybe I'm stupid, but what exactly was that article about?

[Oddball RS]

Money, taste, discuss............

[TheOrangePeril]

Interesting article, nice car, I'm just concerned at the lunatics on this planet who want to pay a fortune for Beck's old VW...

They could have given it a wash!

Show what a cock he is.

Is "TwentyFree" a clever pun I've missed?

Looks like it says Twenty Three to me!

Isn't this a pear roast or am I Mystic Meg?

Why is he a cock? Not a fan of football or him, so just curious as to why you say that

Jealousy of his wealth?

[Nicholas Blair]

Tragic waste of a decent car...

[Gazzab]

Not for me but its not that bad. Dont like convertible 911s (that seems such a waste) but I suspect it will go for a premium (if you can stand looking like a peddler of crack each time you drive it).

I'm not ducking, reckon that apart from the idiotic 23 logos, its a good looking car.

Not even slightly wasted.
