Short and sweet today, Running it in yesterday, 80 mile loop of Lambourne following this drive
http://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-mydreamdriv...

Amazing car, scared the wife, she loved car found acceleration too intense at times - she like slow and steady, she will have to get used to it as this one's a keeper.. Suffice to say I absolutely love it, what a car, the acceleration is addictive. Liked that you can press the sport button the cruise down the motorway. The noise stays with you for hours- in a good way

To Daylesford in the cotswolds for lunch today. Then Goodwood members meeting on Sunday - more update and piccies Sunday/ monday . Can't chat have to go off and drive!

Good video, and I agree with almost everything you say. I am delighted with mine.

Not sure how you managed to get 10mpg though!

Good vid Andy, and great car. I've test driven one and it's just mental. Think I'll stick with my sedate original V12V with only 510bhp.....(still get TC light on often though) wink

Yes, thanks for posting such an informative video, I enjoyed watching it. Congratulations on your new car. I've been agonising over trading my V12V in for the seven speed, but for me its not all good reasons to change and on balance unless I see one thats got my perfect spec, I think I'm going to have to stick with what I've got.

Andy that is a great video
Watch the rear pad wear if the traction control is going mad.
I wore out a set of rear pads before I wore out the tyres! rolleyes
Switched the traction to sport mode and that made a massive difference
