Hi

The Boot is pretty cool and really shows that Steve was a real car guy. We're going through it, cleaning up a lot of sand and will have her up and running this spring. We're going to drive her a lot and bring her to Quail in Monterey this summer.

Dear P4/5C deveopment team,

I am writing on behalf of the internets, to express concern over your deveopment program for Mr. Glickenhaus' creation. You see, back in the early days the car seemed to be overfuelling, and the sound of the overrun was best described as totally sordid.

Some of us here on the interweb have fallen in love with that noise, which somehow combined the best bits of Cosworth's BDR with a smattering of 80's Aston and of course the classic Ferrari V8 howl. To be honest, it was perfect.

We realise that you are building a car to win an endurance race, and that means tipping copious quantities of Esso's finest into the exhaust manifold might be contrary to the gameplan. However, the original map was so completely perfect accoustically, we don't mind as the car comes last - as long as it does so on a trailing throttle.

Please can you as a bare minumum create a secondary "There's pretty girls stood next to that bus stop" map, so that the driver can choose to have flame / perfection firing out of the exhaust. That way, should you fail to beat the Audi's past the post, you'll still win in our eyes.

Best regards

Will do although we'd sure like a bit more air as unless we get some the GT3's will be flying past on the straights.
