Despite being 30 something, as heterosexual as the day is long and with a passion for the female form (Col.Crawford watch out...) should I be concerned that my first reaction to this picture was

"Ahhhh - looks like a series 3 fuel cap"

and then

"Ohh - Miranda Kerr - how nice"

---

Ahh yes, I would be concerned, I could almost understand if it was a well kitted out Fender or a bling RRS ;). But taking into account the barely there picture of a series and the first thing you noticed is a blinkin fuel cap instead of a pair of God's finest creation's......yep off to the doctor for you mate :p:D,

Regards

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...008/10/277.jpg

Anyway - what about a list of celebrities / movies that own or feature Landys?

Obviously there is Lara Croft and "Tombraider", plenty of L322's in the Bond flick "Tomorrow Never Dies", I think there is a Stage 1 at the end of "Point Break" as The Fuzz are chasing Swayze at Bells and there is a gold RRC in "Snatch"

I could quite easily take my time filling 'em too!!!! :wasntme::banana:
