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

,

Regards

Stevo

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"

With those twin fuel tanks, I'm not seeing the fuel cap I'm thinking of!!!
I could quite easily take my time filling 'em too!!!!

**Cap** · 23rd October 2008, 06:10 PM

What about the Rovers in Ace Ventura - Pet Detective.
