I like it but couldn't justify £21000 on something that weighs the same as a loaf of bread.

I wonder if it manages a 5 star NCAP safety rating?.... ;D

Have driven a couple of bike engine 7's now I can tell you they are very lively but I could not live with them.

Trouble is they have zero go at low revs then take off like a scolded cat, this is fine on a track where you only need to get rolling once but on the public highway its a bloody mare!

Pretty impressive Aaron, all the more so being an automatic(I never once saw his hands leave the steering wheel).

Mike Anderson has one of those that he uses in Spanish hill climb series.

At least the driver will only kill one passenger in that...

It's not an auto - if you look carefully you can see two vertical chrome bars behind the wheel, one each side.  That's the gear lever..

IIRC I think it's running a Quaife clutchless box (clutchless upshifts, at least)
