What's it like to drive?
Handling is out of this word, you never get bored with it, smile whenever you walk upto it, get in it, drive it, just an all round fantastic example of "living the dream".
What's it like to park?
Front and rear sensors are helpful, cannot see the front very easily so easier to reverse into a parking bay, its very small and compact hence very agile.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Everything is superb, only problem and this was my fault was not taking a passenger who would of told me how uncomfortable the carbon fibre single mould seats are, think I allowed myself to be dazzled by the car, seats have now been replaced with he standard normal comfy ones.
What's most practical about your car?
Ermmm are you joking lol, you don't think or practicality when buying this sports car lol.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bang & Olufsen stereo is excellent, Bamford & Rose supplied/fitted race performance exhaust sounds fantastic as well as on/off switch bypassing fuse 22 meaning valves open when you want and not controlled by car evs.
