My mate Houghton has had a 3-Series BMW under wraps for years.

I’m not sure if he’s waiting for it to become rare and cash in or just hoping that it will decompose into a residue of mag wheels, spoilers and skirts and save him the trouble of recycling it.

But today, it had a certain erotic flair about it………..

(And it’s his – Houghton’s – 50th birthday today, so have a good one, son.)
