It's arriving back from its 1200 mile service in 20 minutes. So I'll be doing my first launch control start in ... 22 or so.

The car is astounding (though a bit understeery) even in comfort mode. I'll tell you about race mode tomorrow :-). It seems to defy the laws of physics and if anything is quicker than the noble, especialy at high speeds.
Downside is it's all a bit "done for you", I still enjoy the Noble more on a good day though I'd much rather be in the GTR at night and in the wet.
So a perfect car companion to the Noble.


I may be away if not, I'll try to get it to FT.

When is FT as Adrian is due to have another traction kite experience in August at my humble estate with my friendly 4.0 m blade 2 traction kite he will certainly have longer arms and legs for FT so at least he will be able to nail the throttle and clutch.bouncebyebye

Somewhere hot and sunny with my children was more appealing. But the bloke who won it told me he was glad I chose to stay away. The 103db noise limit could be a big problem
