A mate of mine has 2 - and a diablo!!!

Oh, and a GT40

I think his garage is probably worth more than my house:-











A few spare tyres - just in case:-

wow, de Tomaso, that takes me back, they always looked awesome although I'm not sure its handling/build quality quite matched the looks. Nice though

Why? Not the easiest car in the world to clone due to volume

Have you got a lambo as well then?

My mate does not mind - I asked his permission first, as I know some people get a bit funny about it

You can, if you're a copper, work for the DVLA or have someone on the payroll who does.

In which case, you're either

a) likely to be trustworthy
b) likely to be so heavily involved in organised crime that you can BUY a bloody Lambo.
