Azure idling on a grey Monday 22 May 2007 (Forum)
and...and...you can go on and on. Till it crashes - the configurator, I mean. (It's a bit browser-sensitive, too.) And it's left-hand drive - the Bentley, I mean - but that's OK because it'll be spending most of its life in the south of France anyway. What's that, Nurse? Medicine time already? -
