A big for that one!




However, doesn't that dash display seem a little familiar?

Funny pic !

However I don't think I would be preoccupied by how I look but more "how the hell am I going to keep that Bas---d machine on the road!!!?"

It is a very close call though isn't it! One that I often mull over whilst residing in my apartment in Monaco during the winter months..............oh. no. wait. Perhaps not!

Still the Zonda for me I'm afraid but it does have a certain space ship/jet fighter purpose about it which I like. Not sure about that windscreen wiper down the middle of the windscreen if that's what it is? Bit to Max Power for my liking.

Slightly different cabin ambience than when I had that dash though!

All hail Koenigsegg, king of supercars! Total madness, but easy enough to drive every day, and awesome (and comfy) on the track. Just a pig to park......

Haven't driven a CCX yet, but my time will come when we trade in the CC8S.

Have a look at the rest of his profile: www.rioprestige.com

Still would love to be his friend though - Mates Rates!

Actually it's my 27th Birthday coming up next month - wonder if I can convince my girlfriend...pity we've just moved house, I think we'd struggle to afford the Boxster at the moment!

According to the great JC of Top Gear fame it will do 850bhp if tuned to run on 98octane and if you really want to go for gold you can tune it to run on bioethanol and have it turning out 900 (ish) !!!!!!!

OMG. Gimme gimme gimme!!!

I think you guys are all missing something here. This car is seriously flawed!

Every time you open the door your can of de-icer would fall out of the pocket!

We called into a petrol station on the N138 north of Le Mans this year for directions (to the "Great British Welcome" which was anything but unfortunately), these guys were happy to help with a map (no sat nav?) and the sound as they left was one of the highlights of the weekend. Awesome when driven in anger.

Some people just have everything ! sometimes through sheer hard work, sometimes taking risks, sometimes inherited, sometimes lucky. Bet there's a gorgeous woman around too. Most of all I bet he's got a huge . For me the CCX is No.1 (Zonda F close 2nd)
