and it has an address book that we would all love to snaffle

because it must be the best in the world.

But he's owned and driven most things and he's bought and sold most things

and his story book is incredible and it culminates in being a part of the sale

of the most valuable car ever sold in the world ever.

But the professional thing I want to get to first.
