The Orange Lamborghini
The orange Lamborgini is mysterious because it is always in the same place on Wednesdays near Bonner School.
He looks like black glasses, brown hair, black shoes, red lips, cream leather seats, a black and orange boot, a silver engine, silver and black rim tyres and orange body, eyebrows are black, a yellow and white number plate and always near Cyprus Street and it looks like this.
