Flipping through autotrader was the first time I had that moment we all have eventually - “I should buy an XJ-S V12, look how cheap they are! Actually, no, I shouldn’t do that...look how cheap they are.”

They’d also send a photographer to dealers that contracted with them. I applied for that job when I was 19 but didn’t get it.
