How I found out about this car   Why I bought this car   The long wait for it to be built

Driving impressions

AWESOME handling…you can chuck it into a sharpish bend at 80mph and keep accelerating. I back off because I get scared, not because the car is letting go.

Steering is a bit loose, but acceptable

Great visibility in the front, lousy in the rear

Crashes over big bumps

Very noisy-will try to put some sound-absorbing material in engine bay and against bulkhead/firewall.

Because you are sitting so low, it feels even faster!

Usability

Ingress and egress has to be mastered

Fantastic seating position and very comfortable seats.
