Yeah - His net worth is around 30 billion pounds so it would be like me spending a few hundred on car parts. 🤣

It does show though.. that making a car for hardly anything and then persuading enough customers that it's worth what used to be a house is a secret superpower of legacy brands.

Wish he could send a little mist my way.

I had a sit in the driver's seat of one recently and I don't think I could put the non-stop hours in that I did in my D1 or do in my present D3. I reckon anyone my height (186cm) or over, will find the helm position a little awkward and tiresome.

One would still be on my shopping, shortlist list if my Blotto numbers come good.
