OMFG! That is truly stunning, I would so have a normal road going version over the koenenisigg (sp) or Zonda, let alone a totally race prepped road going version!

My mate's been out in one, 'apparently' the guy also had a stunning Ferrari in the garage, was some rich bastard down here tho so could well be true!

That is an AWESOME bit of kit.

Respect for using it for "normal" stuff and not leaving hidden in a garage for years

ya get more that 5.25 per hour im guessing

glad to see that all the london wages are helping the people who livie in the capital

think all non londoners should be treated as the imagrants they all are and not allow em job so the poor london people who pay the higher prices for shite get the wages

i hope that makes me sound bitter


but fook me ya must get no sleep or rest doing that slap

Hmm they're very quick!! Many an Eon ago 94-96 I used to go to Henley College with Danny Harrison aka George's son. I was going to college one day on a bit of dc and he overtook, looked over, smiled and booted it up a hill. Quick isn't the word! Still would love to compare the torque graph to mind as see what it's like!

Gorgeous car! Always found it amusing as George bought Danny his first run-around.....a Metro
