Yeah, but we should claim him as an Australian
Ok you can have him on the condition that you keep Russel Crowe, give back pavalova, Phar Lap, Crowded House, and stop claiming Sam Neil.

^Yeah, but we should claim him as an Australian. After all, New Zealand always had and still has the option of joining us.

Pavlova was invented in Australia and we'll never give it up! Crowded House was actually formed in Australia, though the Finn brothers are from NZ. Phar Lap never raced in NZ, so its racing success is purely based on the efforts of Australian race horse trainers and associates. Sam Neill, well, he has lost all semblance of any nationality, but he lives in Sydney, so clearly he prefers us.

Anyway, back to the original point, what on earth would Lewis Hamilton do with a rare collector's car? You just don't drive these cars unless on a track, and you would think Hamilton has a life and doesn't stay on the track during his spare time.

I'm happy to give you back Sam Neil! His annoying steak ad's arn't much of a contribution to anything great
