Good stuff.

That car is easily repairable so should only take them around 8 months to do it.

Well yeah I’d expect longer actually, I mean they are busy making lots of newer different cars and they don’t produce this anymore.

But you're an ambassador! Surely they'll shut the whole factory down until your pista is fully repaired?? laugh

It’s the same as me saying “come on Richard, you’ve got lots of spare time on your hands to write something funny”. You see, that’s just never going to happen.

Yes I looked at the Yeti/RS mash up and couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of it all so I went into Rolls Royce and got myself a Ghost on order.
Yeah I’ve got myself a few more Ferrari’s too. I’ll post some pictures of them as soon as I take delivery. This year is already shaping up to be interesting haha

I can't say I don't blame you. Last time I drive one, I actually nearly crashed it on a dry sunny day!
(didn't expect it to be so happy to try and kill you)

Yeah they’re like an angry wife, they’ll be really nice to you if you’re nice to them, but look at another woman and they’ll stab you. Same with the GTO, don’t pay attention to the roads or corners and it’ll just step out to show you who’s really in charge.

No, they’re silly money. I think it’ll be the year of a 288GTO

Pete, the logistics of car collections fascinate me, I found keeping four cars all current a chore so cant imagine what i must be like on your lot, as real cars, unlike a Forza garage tend to be a pain in the backside.

As you buy more cars, what happens with regards to storage space ? Do you have spare slots to fill ? Do you eventually run out and have to find somewhere else and what are the criteria for selecting somewhere ?

I know you say you just buy and dont really sell but if you have something you havent bothered with, like I know you say you dont have a lot of love for the Astons, are you tempted to get shut ?

I know you have someone who manages them for you day to day, but are they all kept ready to go so to speak, i.e. taxed, MOT'd, serviced, battery charged and does someone give them a run round to keep everything moving (can think of worse jobs than that !) are they all accessible, I know in your videos they seem to be but i know some folk with more cars than space and they end up four cars deep and its like some kind of mad puzzle to get them out.
