I have no idea but I couldn't even afford the insurance. Shocked Cheesy

I don't know much about these exotic cars but they tell me this one is very rare & also very desirable.

I don't know if this one is brand new but the list price is £350,000. Nobody's told me what it is yet so I'm guessing on the model. The green one in the last shot is part of the collection & might be worth about the same.

The person who owns that car also owns many more like it. If I tell you who he is or where that garage is I will be forced to kill you. Wink

I doubt he'd let you drive it but it's just possible I could arrange for you to have a ride in it around Goodwood motor circuit some time. You would have to take your turn in the queue after me. Tongue Wink
