Hi Mark, not seen anything. Plato seemed to like it and said it felt similar to his 997 TT for pace 
but I'll be a nervous viewer on Monday evening as well.
The Type-25 is up against a few Supercars around Bedford on a magazine shoot as well. Monday should be an interesting day

Head to head would've been good against a "supercar"

Well that was pretty damn positive. Excellent !
"More positive steering". "It'll still understeer but is more neutral than before"
(as Plato demontrates how a Scooby should be driven) and "I like the fact this is not just some boy racers wet dream - it has climate control , etc"
Seems like Scoobs are a match for supercars afterall !
Had to laugh at that jerk that sits next to VBH in the cafe when he first had a look at the GT40 - "The thing I like about this is that the wheels are so know that they still have the different coloured markings on them" (as he looked at the tyres ! )
Anyway, back to the Litchfield , if we can get 52 folk to contibute 1/52 of the £40k price, then we have some awesome car sharing for one week a year!
Superb !
PS Best speed to go over speedhumps ? Depends if you're filming "The Dukes of Hazard" or not !

As for the Car, I need one in my life. NOW
Thinking the best way to tell the Mrs the Brand new car we`ve had 5 mths is no longer quick enough and would she mind using every penny we`ve saved up ever, to buy that ***********.

Would have been nice if they mentioned PS.
Mind you It was Iains little wet dream, so I'll let him have that one.
As said though, a good report if a little short.
Better than Tiffs little escapade anyway.

Very "John Smiths"...................positive thinking of a very fine package indeed. To say it is bought by supercar owners for a run around and then to find out it's faster than their supercar is a fantastic thought.
Powerstation, Rich, Dirk, Andy and the guys have really upped the ante. Hopefully not their prices as they bask in the glow of fame.
Well done guys. I'll be back for some thing soon
