Wibble!

Good thing it's not a road car - just imagine the cost of replacing that CF nose!

Have seen the panels from one of these off the car and its pretty big. Would be curious to see how much bigger it was compared to a vanquish.

There is an internet video showing a Vulcan being driven (slowly) on USA public roads, accompanied by police cars.

Forget that though, here is a Vulcan being driven as they should be. Put your sound through an amplifier and big speakers. Crank up the volume, and prepare to be thrilled.

Were you driving the Vulcan at Misano, shown in the above film?

The editing seems to mix up dry and wet running. Presumably there were tyre changes, because I think slick tyres were shown in one shot.

I only hope that when they all get delivered they make it to the track and don't become trophy queens in some "old phart's" collection.

I guess they needed someone to make sure the car is forgiving...

Pretty simple point isn't it?

That the Vulcan is incredibly powerful and may be bought by very powerfully built company directors who may not have the reactions and sheer driving talent needed to control it.

Therefore the manufacturer would be well advised to set it up with a fairly forgiving chassis rather than a setup that requires the skills of Lewis Hamilton to master...

An edit, Sir.
As you say, not wanting to cause offence.

Does anyone know of any British buyers?

The last comment that I heard from Dr. Palmer was, 18 sold, only 6 still available.
