Cant Wait..I have took it through a few S bends on the local A41 at 12.....0Mph...obviously this is nothing to its capabilities...I have read in a mag recently that some Guru said..."No matter how fast you take it into a corner, you always come out the other side wishing you had gone FASTER"!!!
Bugger me it was fun!!

Hi Dennisi
Glad your enjoying your P1.I have had mine since March 2000 done 30000 miles of great motoring.
I have had it off the clock a few times whilst on the Continent,but a little word of warning i did loose it at Castle Coombe in damp conditions.It can get a lot worse ask anyone who was at Silverstone for trax 2000.
Enjoy and see you at a meet next year

Had a Kawasaki 12R first issued & run in & yes I got 170mph out of it & yes it did genuinely go (205 mph), but it pails into insignificance when getting your knee down on a twisty...
Then kids come along & yes straightline speed is great on the motorway, but its great on a track when you loose the rear end, catch it again & accelerate out.....
If only it wasn't my car & I didn't have to drive this 1 home & there again safety issues...at least ur not going to hit oncoming traffic & also get to keep your licence...
