He's right Gareth

Nice as the Aston is (if you like old school) it just doesn't hold a light to that black, beetle, exige, thingey.

There are photos on the net of a road registered one G. Not sure that it will ever see the light of day in a manufactured sense. Venom don't exactly have the greatest track record for getting cars 'on the road' rather than one off's to prick tease speculative investors. It will be interesting to see if Lotus have any input at all on this; I'd be staggered if they consented to their design being used.

Great looking car though Gareth.

In all fairness to the bloke who owned that CTR and a collection of other cars, he was driving it as it should have been.. The weather didn't help but my did it shift when it needed too. Obviously he turned everything off as he was sideways through most corners as some of the pictures show. What a noise.

Ive never really seen anything like it, was great fun to watch as its very rare that someone with such an insanely expensive car, actually goes out hell for leather with not a concern in the world.

We stopped the sessions because of a severe downpour and flooding at various parts and he came up to me and said "come on, let me out, i don't mind the wet, the car swims when it needs too and i can turn everything off so i can keep it under control" - To me that just sums up screw-lose mentality.

I get to see a nice variety of cars week in and week out, but to see a really rare supercar driven hard in the wet was fantastic.

Am gutted really as i was offered a passenger lap in it, but i cant just swan out there during the day, only when i'm not working.. Although i was kicking myself!!
