Funnily enough Vlad, i did try to talk him into buying an Aston before he lashed out and bought this stupidly expensive machine. I've a soft spot for Astons as i used to live very close to their original factory in Newport Pagnell, and consequently a couple of mates worked there. Beautiful cars! :onya:

Ferrari my all time favourite cars. Just love them. One of my life highlights, got to see a 250 GTO sitting in a local car park, 2 yrs ago. Never thought it possible. It was well guarded by owner, worth a fortune. Have a read on 250 story, worth the effort. Have a pic, will dig it out.

I`m not absolutely sure grog, but I think Nick Mason has a 250 GTO in his private collection - not that it really matters to the likes of us!!  :whistling:

Yea, it`ll be good to see the pic of the one you referred to  :onya:
