It's a model I've always wanted, and this one is a very good example.
I'll pop pics up when I get her

Cerbera was the first car I ever told myself "I'm going to buy one of those one day".
I worked in a petrol station in my late teens (late 90s) and was fascinated by the guy who used to drive one wearing 'racing boots' with his business suit.
He usually gave it a bootful when leaving the forecourt which cemented the lust

VX220 2.2 - Gone
BMW 335d Touring F31- Fastest car on the road
MINI Cooper 1.5- More fun than the BMW

You'd be correct! Loving it!
She certainly stands out, and the overrun pops and bangs from the sports zorst just add to the drama!
All tucked up in the garage, might go and sit in her again for a while

Awesome. That's a beautiful thing.
I saw you turn right by the Whitehall Theatre as I was approaching the lights from the other side, I almost turn in after you but thought it might be a bit wrong to stalk you up the road

Thanks Chris. I take it you were in the panda?
Saw the 944 parked at the end of the road the other day.
I actually passed your place today, if you're ever there and in the garage I'll happily pop in and give you a nose.
You could have stalked me up the road
