I was going to say that last pic is so full of charm, then rubbed my eyes and decided it looked like a toy child, and now.... well, I'm just not sure.

Its a toy child, hopefully not stolen from social services (show me on the doll where Mr.Harris touched you).

its one of these weird things at a car show. You take your car along to show it off then prop a toy child on the front or sit as a group 3 inches from the front bumper preventing anybody getting a decent look or picture of your car.

The doll was there all day and I refused to take a pic of the car as it was doing my head in. Then by luck I wandered round for a last look and saw the owned under the bonnet and thought "theres a pic".

Well it is a cool shot in the end! Though the stuffed toy child thing is very weird.

I dont think its to stop people taking pics, I think its the owners idea of something funny. Kinda like sticking a Garfield in the window.

See, if you asked me, I'd have said that was a Magnum coupe; I thought all Firenza's had the "droop snoot"? Still wouldn't say no to one min.
