I'll have mine in silver please.

Actually, I've decided to install a laser gun on this forum as it is irresponsible to have a fast lane. It will now be called the "moderate speed having regard to driving conditions lane" and I will be handing out points for anyone whose posting speed I don't like. Henceforth, none of these irresponsible Koennigseggs - lets have lots more spanners in white socks driving $hitbox Micras with '19 brembos and Airbus tailplanes fitted.
