That is nice Albert,
colour is not to my taste, i prefer orange Grin
I do think a visit to the Nederlands to see some of your fleet of cars may have to be considered at some time.

God I even had one of them as a tow car but it was the 280 se model but I hated it that much the only pleasure I had was ramming the auto-box back into 1st at 50 mph, how that engine screamed in pain  Shocked Shocked but Albert she is a clean looking lump of a car Grin Grin, well wrecking the engine was part of this unknown thing called "the Irish sense of humour Roll Eyes Roll Eyes"

Well thats what I mean it can be a hard to understand thing even for folk in the "Real Capital" as I was in knots laughing at this well engineered car begging for mercy where a Fiat would give out for not revving enough  Undecided Undecided
