Cool I've just followed a Ford GT

Just like this:





Car sounded awesome, he did a quick over take and left an Escort van for dead. First time I've seen one on the road

looks fantastic but
a, If i had spent £110,000k and could not waste an Escort van I would be pi$$ed off.
b, If it was a Transit van he could not have seen past it to overtake, (lhd 70% on the wrong side of the road before you can see if its safe).
c, Does look and sound fantastic tho.

I saw one in a car park next to a market in Erquy, Brittany France. It is pretty quite there, not what i expected to see.

If it's like Clarksons, It would have broken down at the end of the road.

One of the last Supercar's I'd ever buy. Nice car, but too many stories of them going wrong. Clarkson's being case in point.

For that I'd buy an import.

The uk ones keep going wrong becuase of the junk they put on it (alarms, trackers etc) and the company that retrofitted all of it didn't do their homework.

He was lucky it wasn't an Astramax van. It would have wiped the floor with him.
