Title: Doctor Opti's latest car purchase?
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 15 August 2014, 11:00:08
A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO recently sold at Bonhams for a record $34.65 million (£20.77 million) and is the most expensive car ever!  :o  :)

I wonder if Mrs Opti has been chucking laptops around again!  :-\  ;D

Very nice. Just remembered with a chuckle the write up in Nick Mason's book about using his 250GTO in the 1970's to take his kids to school, in the snow, when his Volvo failed to start.(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26795734/Smilies/rofl.gif)

I wonder if he'd do the same today? ::)

Now, even Opti would agree, that what car can be worth anything like that price?! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Even I wouldn't pay that price, no more than I would buy an £18,000 handbag. ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If only you knew how piss poor I really am. :'( :'(

After watching James May on Sunday I'm thinking of investing in a Lada Riva or  Polski Fiat. :y

Of course, I'll need a loan for either of these 'Iron Curtain' specials.. :'( :'( :'( 

I shall have a chat with those benevolent people at Wonga. :)
