how cool am i???
last night, after going to marks mate jims house, and after mark getting petrol, we stopped downa random country road (sounds dodgy i know), and mark asked if i would like to drive
after careful deliberation, i accepted the offer, and practically ran to the drivers seat
so.....
the car is absolutely awesome, pulls so well in every gear, and feels really stable at warp speed down bumpy country roads
the only problem i found with it, was driving my car afterwards, the gearchange in mine is so sloppy compared to it, although, my clutch doesnt slip under load  (oh, and mine is LOADS quicker :lol
the power and torque delivery is brilliant, and i couldnt believe how quickly it gets to 80 or so and how good it feels at these speeds, roll cages obviously make a hell of a difference
so, in short, a truly amazing, awesomely fun bit of kit, and if you ever get the chance to go out in it, or drive it, jump at the chance
