We
fiddled around trying to make Eddie’s new bike fit in the garage,
behind the Cerbie,
but couldn’t. So we went for a long drive instead. See videos at
bottom of page!

So
there we were, driving around, when Eddie mentions there’s a Ferrari
360 pulling into a
petrol station ahead of us. I crane around, trying to find it, and am
shocked to see the only
Koenigsegg in England. Doubly shocking as I was at the factory in Sweden
the previous day!

What
are the odds of that??!! I
speak to the driver, and he invites us down the road to a Ferrari
dealership or something. I wasn’t too interested, but said ok. So we
get petrol and go down the
road to a discreet warehouse.

What
do you know, it’s a warehouse full of exquisite cars!! There’s
all sorts of rare cars, the
Miura SV being one of 8 in the world, the Sultan of Brunei’s Bugatti
EB111 being one of the
ultra-rare SS (supersport) versions, the purple Diablo being the only one
of its kind, etc. etc.

I love
this place! It’s nice and uncluttered, tastefully decorated, fully
equipped, and very bright
and airy. Truly a dream garage! They do sales, full restorations, storage
and exotic car hire
as well!

Many
thanks to Graham and Daniel for showing me and Eddie around. Eddie even sat
in the
Bugatti! Of course, the interior simply does not compare to the Cerbera!

Arrancio
Pearl-one of my favourite colours, and perfect for a Diablo or Murcielago.
Rightmost

The
Koenigsegg was outside, as it was to be shown at Harrods later on in the
day. There was
also a very understated Diablo “backup” car. As if the day was
not special enough already,
another bloke shows up and turns out to be a test-driver for Ducati! I
immediately invite Simon
to my neck of the woods in California!

I only
took this picture because the most enthusiastic Lotus
fan in America is a fellow named Bob Metz!
This is at a pub in Windsor.
