You're right, 19 seconds seems like hours

Is that what your man tells you?

19 seconds is a long time for an expensive vehicle though...I'd rather have an Aston Roadster...

I've never fancied a brown car but love the colour featured in this article
I know someone who has just ordered one of these

It looks nice

I'd never consider a brown car, reminds me of the colour old Ford Cortinas were! Although it looks good in that picture

Chocolate is the new green.

What goes around comes around. Loved that brown McQueen Fezza that Nut detailed.

Enjoyed watching the carpark vid.
