Like his Rolex though. Proper bit of objeda that (like wearing my S2k on his wrist )
I think he's feeding the wheel as Ferrari made the paddles not move with the wheel. You have to feed it to change gear - but then again, ideally you shouldn't really be changing gear mid corner.

He's certainly giving it some though, which is good to see as videos looks a lot easier than real life

Road trip to Leeds and back at the weekend. Covered 490 miles and managed an average of 18.6mpg. No issues with the car at all,...a perfect drive, lots of sunshine and fun too.
