What is the Aston Martin DBR1?
This piece of stunning automotive sculpture is THE Aston Martin DBR1 that won the 1959 24 hours of Le Mans as driven by Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. Built in 1957, the history-steeped racer is on sale for a cool £20 million, making it potentially the most expensive British car ever.

You might as well shout into a well as try to post anything meaningful or sincere on MSN homepage today.

In are the sad dating posts, out is anything of REAL significance in case they offend the powers that be.

Thank yer M'am !, God Bless yer M'am, have a new parasite prince waste our dosh in 'Vegas.

What's that America, you want to launch war on funcioning Arab Governments ?. AND you want us to pay for it in lives and living standards ?.

No problem Buddy, you can bum us later if you wish !.

 

Gosh I love a good rant, but that does not make what I say any less true.

 

Finally, NO old car is worth more than any new car. That price (estimate ?) is "sick" in the old sense of the word.

I'm off to howl at the moon.

 

Peace.
