Yes he does, and he is well informed and interesting.
He will not post on subjects such as 'tunnel runs', coloured stitching and breakfast meets .
He will irritate some for sure, in a way that Brian Sewell would irritate a 'footballist', those that I doubt he would have much respect for anyhow.
He is in the business, had and has the cars most covet and in the privileged position to be party to some extremely relevant information relating to those marques. He will also speak the truth as regards what cars have cost him as regards depreciation etc. A rare quality, when compared to some of the ostriches on here.
My advice is to listen to him....you never know, you may learn something.
Sir I have plenty to learn however I doubt from this chap. He will not post on subjects such as 'tunnel runs', coloured stitching and breakfast meets .

Brian Sewell on the other hand, a great wit & raconter always a good read and his appearences on Question Time are always informative and entertaining..
There are parallels between Mr Apollo and the former. It's an act, a game not to be taken too seriously.
Both are knowledgable, both can be irritating.....but to doubt without foundation is pure folly IMO.

He's an art critic fist and foremost. Not a panelist, and plays the pompous a**e very well as does Starkey.

love the honesty!LukeyLikey said:
Nah, I reckon it could be great. Ferrari are so in form that I would be amazed if it was any kind of let down. I'm tempted...
+1We'll have the usual it's a 458 with no carpets and a stripe brigade. Then the media will drive it and say its a great steer, then in a couple of years time every body will want one and the values will stabilise.
That's the way it works!.

No, and rightly so. Let me know when you want to sell the 4.0....you can have my flappy paddle slot in return.
sorry but its a keeper....up to 300 miles now.....I am trying to buy another one just bid 200k... Jon666 said:
I think you have to respect that while some people are keen to show off their car collections others are of a more reserved nature.
Sorry but reserved is not a word i would have chosen.Edited by Jon666 on Tuesday 22 October 16:23

pete......you should not let the green mist get in the way of inspiration. We are not filming hunger games.....
Oh there's no green mist here, if you have what you suggest and have made the money yourself then mucho respect to you, to be fair though quoting figures on how much your paying for stuff and constantly talking about your latest super car purchase, because that's all you post about, is not reserved in fact some would say its actually a little crass.Edited by APOLO1 on Sunday 27th October 06:53
But as they say, you can't buy class and style.
Good luck to you if you've managed to own all those amazing cars (well, if through money you've earnt yourself anyway), but as someone else has said it's hard to believe you could have really "connected" properly with that many cars in 12 months in order to form a valid opinion on them.
I reckon it takes weeks / months and many good drives to really gel with a car in order to make a fair assessment.
