IMHO they spent far too long talking about a name and not enough about the car .
How did that time compare with the remaider of the normal road trim cars , seemed bloody quick to me .

This was a slightly sarcastic thought, where I think he's right in what he's putting across - if the 62 thingy is a private jet the t350c could well be considered a starfighter, but when you look at the mythical beasts they named a large number of their previous cars after this does appear a little lame. I know he’s a wind up merchant but I think the point he makes is fair enough.

Still, its a very nice car..

how about..

Silenus (sye-LEE-nus)

Could that be prounouced silliness ?

Satyr, companion to the wine god Dionysus. Silenus was found sleeping in a vineyard one day and was tied up and brought before King Midas of Phrygia. Midas set the goat-man free. In gratitude, Dionysus granted the king a wish, which turned out to be the power to turn whatever he touched into gold. When this "Midas touch" proved disastrous, Dionysus spared the king the further consequences of his greed. The god's mercy in this regard arose from the respect Midas had shown Silenus.

It's not like I know that stuff myself
