In addition to the five yellows he's also got three other 4spd AC Kr verts   If you do the math that's over 15% of the total production

While it wouldn't be me that attempted to classify him and the discussion has come up before but he is a bit unique and as a result a classification is a bit evasive?

I suppose if one refers to Astro-physicists as "Architects" then car "Designer" isn't completely inappropriate although a bit limiting in my view?
