It was a good day, enjoyed the photoshoot - though it was a bit cold after a few hours

LOVE the gearbox, so need a straight-cut in my life.

Awesome car. If I'd seen that coming off a slip road like that, the hairs on the back of my neck would have left the car along with my stomach. I don't buy any mags anymore, so pardon my next question. What does it weigh?
