Anybody who gets aroused by 400/412s and Camargues is a top bloke, mucho respect !

Your taste is impeccable but I have corrected your one faux pas and replaced The sorry underpowered wobbly turd that you posted with a pic of a truly iconic epically cool hero chariot :D

Although actually, if it's £60k I'll squeeze this in, in place of the 'vette I expect.

^^^^ Of course Sir. Have your change in 1750HL Maxis.


That black Camargue is absolutely stunning. My favourite Rolls Royce along with the slim bumper 'Shadow 1' based hardtop Corniche. Only the Proper need apply - so no Alan Sugar/Jungle Rapping vermin.

Dont know the costs of them all on average but I bet I could do that easily enough... If I had all of them, I would be happy and never want another car again.

I can tell you for sure that if I ever feel like that about my wife she WILL be my ex-wife unless of course she's the one making all that money, LOL.

Your a bad man Chris ! :D

Looks like a '77 or'78 Cadillac coupe/ sedan de ville that some proper council type has reversed into a
caravan at speed :)

It must be a real dilemna when he goes to Billing, take the Caddy or the Renault tragic ? decisions decisions :)

For a bit over £50k how about a Aston Martin and a Porsche instead of that nearly new E92 M3 Competition Package....
