Michael,
this doesn't seem to make sense. Your lovely Redline video is what I sent out to my friends to inform them what I was about to buy. It was such a refreshing change to see a video where the car was being driven so gently as opposed to all the doughnuts and tyre screeching on most of the other reviews.
Seems there is another side to your driving technique or are you having us on?
Mapman,
I was in no way responsible for the editing or content of the video. David Rose took what he wanted out of it. We were in a public park for this and the authorities in charge frown heavily on hoonish displays.
I live in rural Vermont. There are days where the road is empty and I "own" it and there are days where there are simply too many "flatlanders" who are visiting this scenic paradise and totally lost where, if I drove like I feel like doing, someone would get hurt.
When I take friends for rides I give them one of two options; I will drive like you are my sainted grandmother or I will drive like you're not here at all. This is slightly deceptive as one of my grandmothers was a little old lady from Pasadena who liked fast cars and large block V-8's! Blown Pontiac Firebirds and an Olds Cutlass 442 come to mind...
Impromptu races and threading traffic like a well greased needle can be fun and this is, after all, why I bought the damn thing!
