Nice location, where?
The money spent on them is on fire, big-time.Quote:

I thought a very similar thing just the other day when I stopped at some services on the side of the M1. Albeit to be fair, they are all pretty grim.Quote:

Two parked in front of a restaurant near Cascais yesterday. They served a lovely tuna, btw.Quote:

Er, don’t you mean £20 million (at least)?

I'm often drunk when I'm a tourist, and I'm British so not particularly bothered. If the cap fits. . (happy smiley drunk though!)Quote:

Bravo, thanks for the correction, my knowledge of these things is so limited, as I had only ever seen one Zonda before and that was at a motor show. I have to say the all carbon top gear record holder looked fairly special.Quote:

It may be jingoistic or xenophobic to stereotype them, but I suspect it's really just a little jealousy, wishing we (the British, or maybe English) could be a bit more relaxed about such things.
