Longer than a battleship, that's why mine ends up with dents and scratches both ends


My current 7 series runabout is somehow easier to park, work that out

Well i'm hoping when i move my Insurance will go down quite dramatically as it's insured as being stashed on a driveway..

With a locked garage might get about 30-40% off maybe?
