Lude Generation

"MAGNUSSSS! Don't be so hard on yourself!" This is a bit out of the blue, but this song (& the others) have been in my music library for the last however many years, and they pop up from time to time. Obviously I've gotten used to them so think nothing of it when the tunes come on - an...

Cheers mate, was just thinking about this yesterday. Legend!

Looks like a lovely car, well worth saving. If only I had the space for another lude! GLWS, hope it goes to a good home
