RE: More in car sagaris !!
Discussion
Nice video. A few comments:
- Use more revs, sounds lovely when opened up
- Don't pick your nose on camera
- Lovely colour, interior combo
- You've got an annoying rattle (like you didn't know). Maybe its the camera mounting or door glass? If not and its coming from the rear it sounds to me like the rear hatch latch needs adjusting - small allen key should sort it (I could be wrong, but thats what it sounds like).
- Unless you're a professional racing driver I'd suggest putting both hands on the wheel and doing a bit more thinking about the steering - even in the dry these cars can break traction and punt you into a hedge when giving it some welly. If something happens like a slide causing you to touch a kerb or a blowout under wide open throttle you'll have trouble controlling the steering wheel, this is made worse with PAS - the wheel will spin to the opposite lock on its own. You need to hold on a bit more (hey I'm guilty of this too but do hold tight when giving it some welly/doing 'serious' driving.

Car sounds lovely though (for a Sp6!)

Mmmmm!
Must say that i am coming round more and more to the sound of the straight 6 engine - not sure i will ever prefer it to my V8 but its very nice indeed...

WOW, Fab car, great noise......
However..... Shouldn't really be driving ANY car like that, let alone a big powerfull rear driver.... Shame.

If you check out the speedo on the left, I don't think he was going 'stupidly' fast. It always looks quicker on a vid.
Nice footage.

Maybe he just meant one handed? He was driving quicker than average (given then he overtook a few cars) and accelerated briskly enough so having full control over which way the wheels were pointing may have been more sensible...
