Hi All,
As most of you know I'm getting rid for the v6 and making way for some serious power, took a little drive down to Heathrow this morning to have a look at this beauty -
The owner of the garage came out with me for the test driver, in which he took it out first and showed me what you can & can not do with the car. It all seemed pretty relaxing & calm when cruising about in the town, but as soon as we hit the long straight A-Road, he opened her and we pretty much took off down the road! The performance is staggering; it just keeps going & going, never missing a beat!
I can not believe how fast they are lol it was just stupidly quick and he was barely at full throttle.
It actually gave me that feeling of fear & excitement!
But finally he let me have a little drive, have to be honest I was slightly nervous, as I’ve never driven a car this raw before. Even getting in the car was a challenge; I'm about 6ft & not exactly a small build, so stepping in for the first time I whacked my head on the "roll cage" (yes they actually have a roll cage in the car) which wasn't a good start! So anyway I proceeded to start up the 3.6, 350bhp rocket...which kind of gave me a semi…I engaged first gear and we’re off (didn’t stall it, yes!)
It's surprisingly a very easy car to drive, the lock is very impressive and the brakes are fantastic, but the speed is in a whole new league. There are no words I can use to describe just how fast the car is, but anyone who has been in one will know exactly what I'm talking about!
But anyway - They'll hopefully P/ex my car (+ cash on my behalf) for it and it should be within the next week or so before the beast is mine (if all goes to plan of course)
Thanks All
Adam
