Took Tarka out today.

It is a seductive beast. Mostly she burbles along quickly, but as long as the revs stay below 2000, without much drama.

But press the loud pedal, especially in sport mode, and there is a growl, rather like a large bear complaining of being woken, followed by a shove in the back and as the car gains speed in an improbably manner.

Aldermog the Roadster seemed fast when not actually going that fast. Tarka is just bl**dy fast! I shall have to be a bit more careful.
