Having had a test drive in one like it I can confirm it is a Weapon of Mass Destruction!
When the new +8 was on show at Richard Thorne's, I was the passenger in it when a local racing driver went for a test drive around the Berkshire roads. It's the first time ever that my feet have been forced away from the bulkhead of a car by the accelelation. So if you are lucky enough to be given a trip in an +8 expect the scenary to pass you by as if you were on the StarShip Enterprise.
When I drove the one at Oakmere Open Day it had only just been delivered 4 days previously and had just 50 miles on the clock. Was told to keep it below 4000rpm. Well in 5th gear I found that I was just at about 3700rpm & doing some very crazy speeds so pulled back
& then realised there was still 6th gear to go at! Didn't half put a
on my face! Also, my cap was attached with a lanyard to the back of my shirt but that was blown off on to the Northwich bypass and everybody else spent the day running over it...
