No

We're emigrating to France, where we'll set up a little gite business. So we've bought a little place in the Dordogne.

Special discounted rates available to PH'ers provided they arrive driving something suitably fruity.

So the Mantis had to go. One day we'll get another, or something similar.

Ta Podie

Hopefully the change of lifestyle will make the loss of the Mantis worthwhile.

And as you say, with a bit of hard work and a bit of good fortune I may even be in a position to buy back into the world of proper cars again one day.

Trying to choose between a 360 Stradale or a Murcielago is going to be a bit of a bugger though.

No. But I'm up to my ears in it to give a full response.

Heated windscreen bust and aircon only just able to cope - so interesting to even see out the windscreen.
Turn in sharp
Noise lovely
Wheelspin in 4th when pressing on
Not at all "skittish"
