Just read the spec & its very very nice indeed

At least if you went with this one you could argue that you would leave it standard as you received it with the mode already done

Nice!

Not sure I could live with so few creature comforts though and the "smaller fuel tank" doesn't bode well for any long journeys you may have.

The only issue I can see with that kind of spec it kind of implies that it is quite quick. Which is a bit of a waste of time with Nick at the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vision isn't really the main issue.

The problem was, when Nick's bumper leisurely kissed the wheely bin, his foot slipped onto the accelerator, the turbo spooled up and the car lurched forwards. Not having experienced this sensation before the car was suddenly uncontrollable and disaster struck.

I don`t mean to keep going on about the petrol but I will.

It says it has a small fuel tank can you imagine ragging that like it`s made for. Rag stop for fuel rag stop for fuel etc etc.

The way Nick drives the tank is big enough to get all the way to Knockhill and do a track day then fill up again on the way home.
