[doc] Re: Avantime




Hi Claire,

yep, I love em both, though the Avantime is a bit relegated as I've
just had the D .. :-)  I saw the first concept Avi' and that was it,
decided in a blink that if it ever came out I was having one and as
soon as it was available, I ordered it. It put the D' fund on hold
for a while, but I'm glad I got it as it turned out its rarer than
the D. http://tinyurl.com/4nsua are the beasties (note the Avantime
reg - I just had to ... )
Soon, I'll be adding my daughters Sera to the 'collection' ... must
have a thing for cars with unusual doors eh :-)
Nah ... no plans on selling the Avi' ... she's mine :-)
