But I'll happily settle for my hybrid F-Sport, even if it is 200BHP down on the LFA!

Nice (I particularly like the exhaust pipe arrangement), but not in blue!

I wold post a picture of mine, except I would be too embarrassed. It sounds pretty good at the top end of the specs:
over 300BHP; double wishbone suspension all round and includes lateral dampers front and back, goes like stink in a straight line.
From that, it doesn't sound too bad.
Then we introduce the fact it's a hybrid

Nice, but too tall for me. I like to get my feet on the deck and I'm short!

Won't work. I'm only four foot nine, so I'll need a Harley with 12 inch wheels.

When tuning up your car, and increasing BHP, don't forget to uprate your brakes!
After recently fitting some uprated EBC drilled and grooved rotors (shown below) to the Brabster, in order to improve braking. I didn't think that changing the stock Mercedes brake pads would be necessary, as they were in pretty good condition and seemingly adequate....
However, after initially finding a significant improvement with the EBCs, over the stock Mercedes items, I recently noticed some imprecision and 'stuttering', when braking from high speeds on motorways, so took the car to my trusted specialist mechanic and he recommended that I fit some EBC 'Yellowstuff' pads to go with the recently fitted rotors, as essentially the car's performance, since the last sports remap [program for which was designed by someone who works for NASCAR], had now significantly exceeded the parameters of the stock brake pads...
So these were duly fitted:
Details here: http://ebcbrakes.com/product/yellows...nd-track-pads/
WOW.... What a difference, in terms a general positive feel and stopping power, even from cold!!
The EBC Yellowstuff pads are simply in a different league from anything I've used before. Thoroughly recommended for those driving performance cars with highly-tuned engines, who want the ultimate in stopping power... It's all very well having a quick car, but you also need to be able to stop it swiftly and safely, and in that respect the Yellowstuffs are no-brainer choice!
Justin, if you're not using these in your Boxy, you should be!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
