As I'm ferrying Lord Connor down there, I sincerely hope that there is less snow around than that as we'll be in the BMW and I fear that my traction may be a little worse than Ben's

So, so, so ... now I will confess my first few miles were a bit of a senses overload, trying to learn the paddle clutch, stop turning on the wipers whilst trying to turn, hear the sat nav over the exhaust, then getting out onto the dual carriage way and honestly thought this is a bit gay actually! ... lot's of noise and very little action ... so continued to get my feel for it, gentle accelerator presses .... so continued my gentle drive home, yep, suspension rather stiff, gear change lovely and direct, the clutch once used to it is perfect ... but then I actually put my foot down.

FECK, FECK, FECK, FECK .. Insanity unleased !! ... now I was expecting to be a little bit under whelmed by it compared to the GTR .. how bloody wrong was I.

This thing is a ballistic missile!!! .. I love the ratios on the box, perfect for my driving style, I love the DCCD, initially started the journey with it on a 'safer' setting i.e. sharing a bit more of the front grip, but as the roundabouts arrived and left I found that setting it back to the rear made for awesome backend moments

.

The sound is immense, it's got a stereo, not sure why they bothered as you can't hear it

.

Stu has some pics, I'm too busy playing to talk

Funny thing, it's not like it was on Forza! .. odd that.

Very happy with it - you can't really miss it coming down the street . Brrrrrp, Brrrrp, Pishhhhh, Brrrrrp, Pisshhh, Brrrrp, stall .. :P

A massive thank you to my driver for the day also - cheers Stu, top fella.
