    Just *LOOK* at the sheer BRUTALITY of that thing!! It just SCREAMS pant-wetting POWER... Ticks all the right boxes for me, in terms of what a performance car should look like [BIG and BRUTAL], and something that TRULY *means business*

    It also goes like a veritable rocket [albeit as long as it's in a straight line]

    It's not the splitter, it's the canard which could take your leg off at the knee!

    You love us really! Where would you be without us!

    You're lucky that I'm still here, rushed into hospital Tuesday evening, seriously ill, badly infected appendix, had operation Wednesday. Fell a bit like Mike Tyson has been having a go at me. Still, I'm getting there.

    My thanks to all at the Local Hospital who were pretty fantastic.

    Apparently, appendicitis is generally more a young person's problem!
