Congratulations, though I just imagined you picking the baby up from Hospital and being a little freaked out that a bloke in a sharp suit didn't pull a cover off the cot and hand you a key biggrin

Just saw this thread and noticed you have a Singer DLS. The company I work for has just done a collaboration with a well known car designer revamping one of his previous designs and in their studio they undertake work for other companies, one of which happens to be Singer. I was there a few weeks ago working on the design and they had a DLS in for some work (not sure of the type) and I was lucky enough to have a very close poke around. I honestly can't believe the level of detail the Singer guys go into on that car. It's incredible! Even down to the gold speedo rings.

Well you don't need to worry because they're meant to be seen and not heard.

Quite the assumption for something you’ve. It driven wink

I’m still not sure on the RS6. It is impressive in what it can achieve, but I just can’t see why it’s needed. I applaud Audi for building it, and if I had the OP’s money then I might say ‘why not’, but that aside I think an s-line A6 tip of the range diesel would do the job at hand 99% of the time and with less worries you’d be met with a baseball bat every time you parked on your driveway. It’s also bloody big - well, long.

Congrats on the new arrival, it's a phrase that's been uttered many a time on this thread and the LFA one, but this time for a baby!

Hope mother, baby and father are all doing well.

Congrats on the new arrival, hope all is still well.

I was just browsing and I came across this... now I know you cancelled your Monza due to the weather here being less than ideal but this looks rather special https://www.tomhartleyjnr.com/car/stock/1955/ferra...

Surely this wins the ‘what car should I buy?’ question!

Do it Pete!

i'm also not persuaded by that ferrari, all the 'stuff' below the colour seems wrong, the visual pipes and snooty nose also aren't quite right.

All IMO, obviously.

While we're on about knuckle biting beauty, how about this:

And the bodywork looks in awful condition to me.

There's patina and there's shoddy
