I think it needs a carbon wrap on the handle, good job.

I went out in it yest and it was on song. Everything seemed bang on. Absolutely awesome car. Privileged to spend time with it. For a norm like me I can't imagine much more fun.

Pulls like a train on the straights, grips like velcro on the twisties, sounds like Darth Vader when being pushed, pops and barks when you lift off. Never had anything like this. Don't expect it will ever be topped in respect of where I live in the pecking order of life.

Absolutely cracking cars.
