Well what can i say. While shooting Andy Frosts Red Victor, I feel so privileged and honoured when he said come on, I'll take you round the block!
we didn't go far, but the car drove like a pussy cat very friendly and drivable and quite smooth (just a little loud lol). With no one about he said watch this, and Nailed the throttle (so i thought) a MASSIVE surge hit forcing me back in the set and my head went very heavy for a seconds or two, he then backed off and said i don't dare give it any more as we're not on the best surface and there won't be any grip. He then told me that the throttle was down about just a FACTION! only a few Millimetres and it only then just started to come on boost!!!! WOW hard to explain. He later on said it would be best if i come out with him on the drag strip to see how it really feels, well who am i to argue with that! OMG!
Well that was an interesting few hours yesterday.
