Must be pretty hard to concentrate with a bottle of water in your ear...
Maybe the phone is tapped?

My school run involved this:


Nothing interesting ever appeared at my school, endless Meganes, Zafiras, Picassos, the odd 3/5-series or comparable Merc/Audi. Think the most exotic car we ever saw in the mornings was the brother of one of my mates dropping him off in an MG ZR.

It was quite funny being dropped off for uni this summer in an old armoured Landcruiser with completely blacked out windows and two cops on the front seats.

Regular school run however would involve my two legs and my bicycle since my parents never bothered to drop me off at school unless it was a torrential downpour outside.

Which is a good thing I reckon

My cousin gave her son (he's 13) the job of buying (within budget) her cars. He also goes to private school. The best he could come up with was a Porsche Cayenne (sporty version, I'm not a Porsche fan) and Jaguar XKR Supercharged. It's a constant battle between the boys at school about mummy and daddy's cars.

How the other half live..

The really rich ones drop kids off in Landrovers or whiffy old Merc estates and wouldnt be seen dead in an RRS, which is also a common theme outside the state school gates now.
That's what I try and tell the wife when I drop ours off at his nursery in my old Merc estate (which is whiffy but not due to two old labradors but some damp plasterboard I took to the tip the other day).

I went to possibly the worst school in Stevenage during the 90's, so that probably tells you all everything you need to know. However, probably the fittest girl in my year was occasionally dropped off in a Z3M Coupe, which I've loved since.

Although my Dad did pick me up on his Blackbird a couple of times. Obviously I'd be waiting for him in the part of the car park that required him to drive right into the school, not just by the gate.

Hi guys, I am interested in a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 currently for sale in Germany. I have the chassis and engine number and was wondering if anyone knows how I would go about tracing the cars history?

Thanks in advance
Apparently, not everyone is. wink

BTW, I think it will be supercool on the school run, though I don't have to tell you that! smile

Maybe things have changed, but it used to be the truth. We had several "Hons" and despite between them owning half of Scotland, Bucks and Beaulieu, had the rustiest of cars. Given Lord Montague has a better car collection than almost anyone, you would have though he might collect the children in something a bit special smile

I suspect you don't know what a recession is, then.

My neighbour had a baby seat in the front of her 996 turbo. Another kid and she's now traded for an RS4 Avant. One cool mama biggrin

This was my actual coach for nearly 3 years
