I don't think I've ever grinned so much in all my life!

Woo!

Yay!

Hooray!
 
Awesome!

:!)
 
Wow! That's some ride! Now that you're gainfully employed and have a really cool car, when will we hear the reports of all the hot dates you'll have? :biggrin:

I was talking to a guy last night who used to have a similar car, and he just turned around and said "They're fun, but they're not kitty magnets. If you pick up a girl in it, just make sure her tattoos are spelt correctly!" :biggrin:
 
Impressive! I want one (oh, and a driving lisence... damn.)
 
I'm not sure I've ever told you how much I hate you...
 
kitty magnets, lol
Who said chivalry was dead

I'll keep it for a year, then swap it for your telescope. :smile:

Telescope?Blimey...Nerd alert!

That is definitely a bachelor car. Nice little toy you've got there. I guess the next step is to install the really big/noisy exchaust and huge spoiler kits?

Hm, I would take it back. They didn't even put the steering wheel on the correct side.

Brewie, not that you would use it for that purpose. Nice car.

Enjoy - but drive safely and where your seat belt.

I am a Honda Civic kind of dude. Not fancy, but it get's really great mileage.

But if I was to get such a toy, it would nothing less than a Porsche 917. :!)

Okay, this may seem silly to be asking so late, but just what kind of car is it anyway? It's super-cool looking, but I've never before seen anything like it to have any inkling of an idea what it is.

It's obviously a Matchbox #417. And the detail in the model garage and driveway is truly amazing.

I kind of like my Jeep, but, if the price were right, I could handle owning a big luxury car.

Maybe I could obtain it http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/cash-johnny/one-piece-at-a-time-2214.html .

I've got a John Deere tractor in practically the same color scheme:biggrin: . Just kidding, very nice lines, looks fast and nimble. It almost makes me want to give up my bikes...:wink: .

She's lovely mate, what engine have you got in her? I hear that the turbocharged cosworth engines go rather well in one of those. :biggrin:
