Just got back from finally picking her up (insurance nightmares like you wouldnt believe!) WOW.... Fast doesnt come close... I'm not even going to mention the leptons as I thought they were KMH and it still worried me, until I realised the TomTom was MPH! The acceleration is simply phenomenal.. the noise (and flames!) the directness.. the noise... the noise... The brakes are .. from the 90s, however so long as you remember this isnt a modern day German SuperStopper then they're fine..reminded me of my TVR's brakes! It swallows speedhumps with ease due to the Adjustable Suspension.. the grip is awesome (even though it does light the tyres up at will... it does it in a nice feeling way! Visibility wise it makes a countach feel like a convertible I'm sure.. I find myself weaving a little just to get a sense of a view.. like trying to look backwards though a door peep hole! Just in time to run it in by driving to LeMans tomorrow!! Anyway.. less drivelling and more pics!       yes, I know I need a better camera.. and yes, the eagle eyed of you will spot I've had a custom (non invasive totally reversable) integrated Stereo system + iPod Charger + Tom Tom installed.) once more. Wow. I just want to use this one moment to thank Dion @ Elms Collection (http://elmscollection.co.uk/) He has an excellent reputation in the industry... however it doesnt even come close to just how stunning he has been.. no question was too trivial, no comment went unheard, no task was too much for him to not only do, but do with a smile on it (he arranged for seatbelts to be installed in next to no time and the entire stereo system) I have found a life long mate there, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him with all the gusto I can muster!  Tomorrow I will sticker her up... See you at LeMans!

Quite simply, showing them how it's done. A slight adjustment of that numberplate and you'd be paying a small homage to the creator himself. Enjoy that like there's no tomorrow!

Stella stuff, can't imagine how pleased you must be. Now make sure you get plenty of speeding tickets in it.
