Autocar - First for car news and reviews

Imagine spending £1.6 million on seven dream cars in the space of just eight hours. Picture making your way from dealership to plush dealership, writing the kind of cheques you’d normally associate with property purchases, and ending up with a fleet of exotic metal fit for a supercar club.

Hi Kee Law - hope you are well.

To be honest - I was interested in seeing where the thread went before I went into it too deeply. On the other hand - I managed to accuse someone of having a boner and of not being very tall.....!! :-)

Seriously though - I like the idea of spending the money - I like the idea of trawling around in a Roller to do it but the commercial imperatives that the mag seems to indulge in (rather too often for my liking) was very evident. Is that Harris's fault though or was he merely following orders?

I bet Autocar does a feature in the not very distant future - I bet that Seagrave comes out of smelling of roses - I bet that we see a number of adverts within the mag for the aforementioned company.
