Took me at least a minute to spot that and I was purposely looking for it so I agree

Took me a while to notice, when in fact the opening portion is closed, and the rest of it has no choice.

You can keep that shoddy merc, but my word, what a garage.

I'll take the bronze panzer engined masterpiece please.

I feel this is relevant. Keep your shitty Veryron. SO SO far advanced of its time.

Is it just me or does that guy have a massive end bit to his nose?

All very cool and that but they only have three cars innit, probably more exciting working at Hyundai.

Quite the bonnet opening session.

Imagine the crowds you'd draw at the filling station if you wanted to check yer oil

MEGA watch, good call SVM, loved that

Nearly 100k on the McLaren. Epic Mind you, with a £20k service bill, and parts made of the most exotic materials (gold plated heatshields in the engine bay and non corrosive shell), theoretically, the F1 should last forever and go on as long as its maintained.

Bit more pricey to run than your average fiesta though

Indeed Sir

Literally... the service costs are more than the purchase price of one
