    Thought you were a Solicitor with pots of litigation case money?

    Or are you really a bin man from Pontefract paying for an acrimonious divorce and 18 kids to support via 10 different women?

    Depends what the function is; bikes are made from carbon because of weight and a brooks saddle is not light.

    Meh. You split the forum up. You gotta a lotta nerve showing up here and asking for favours.

    But now you're back, are you going to ask that Chat be split into "serious chat" and "frivolous chat"? Because if you do, mark my words, you'll end up back in "frivolous chat" eventually.

    Brooks make very fine saddles, but it looks very odd attached to that particular bike. Now a nice handmade steel tourer...

    think you are confusing me with someone.

    I split the forum in terms of opinion. I never wanted chat split. I think we have too many boards

    Entering into a Ferrari interior should feel exactly the same as entering a woman.* FACT.

    An Italian woman to be precise.

    And the Ferrari interior above just doesn't look like its going to give me that same feeling.

    Not sure you'd like the F40 then - it's all carbon, industrial carpet and bathroom sealant. With washing line for handles.

    Though I've not met your missus.

    Now you see I think that is hideous - far to "bling". I don't even think it suits the Spyker.

    I do love the Zonda interior though, but Astons are my favourite....
