Wink OMG - do I have a new favourite car!!

Not sure you can buy one though, although I could get one made!

Drove it in anger today on track (and anyone can for the price of admission)

There is a prize for guessing what it might be!!!!

Not the smoothest driving I've seen David, I think Michael Gambon was a bit better...

Are you sure that was you?
I'm sure you're much smaller in real life - in fact, unless you were on a booster cushion you'd never see out of the window.

I cheated and looked on palmers website, couldnt see any car with 450bhp the M3 would have been my 2nd choice looked to be a great car to drive and sounded fantastic was the V8 as nice as it sounded?
