I love his friend's comment:
"This thing answers a lot of psychological needs, all in one vehicle. It's equal parts Gipsy Moth biplane, Hacker-Craft mahogany speedboat, classic motorcycle, and vintage sports car. But it's new and modern and doesn't need to be restored."
A perfect summary of what its all about
