Present - The Turbobarge.

In between - Faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too many.

Mostly ARG cars, though!

(Wish I could include cars I had on loan as dealer cars when I did prestige sales, as then I could say a handful of Astons, Jaguars, Lotuses, Bentleys, a couple of Mitsi Evos, various Italian exotica, etc, etc... Ah, good times.
