When does it become an addiction!
I think it is a sacred duty to save an iconic car. Now our 8s are iconic but most 8s do end up with our sponsors or a competitor, which is good for our 8s. But some of our 8s are iconic icons and today I took ownership of one...
Now the addiction question is because I now have had 4 D2s and still have three of the! 
Should I get help?
For those that are wondering which iconic icon I have laid my hands on it's a PF A8 4.2 QS, Ming Blue (same as my first S8) and was owned by that special person, formally, and still, know as Dezzy!!!!
Yes, I have the that 8. 225k on the clock, needs a bit of polishing here and there and a couple (of dozen) bits and bobs. But it's Dezzy's bus, saved for the nation.
