Conversely, there is an argument that the cars desperately need driver aids.. Turbochargers, auto boxes etc etc.
Would I be correct in thinking that the test drives will be unaccompanied due to Covid..? On one hand that's a Good Thing (would you sit next to someone..!!) but also a Bad Thing as there's no-one to caution you..

Steve, if the cars aren't on trade plates Krazy Horse lets you drive them alone. You are insured by KH but you accept the risk of I think the for £1k of damage.

One of the reasons I won't do "Experience Drives" at the factory for the foreseeable future. Figure I'm taking enough of a chance conducting tours.

Time to stop the thread drift. The Great Escape Gang made another Wed lads drive out. All was well through Dedham vale for a coffee at the Boat House. Then to the Henny Swan for a light luncheon. The Swan is a lovely pub by the Stour (think Flatford Mill & Constable). Here Richard & Paul joined us. 5 people and 2 dogs which is still legal.  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/20201014_135220.jpg) Hawki , Morganthefreeman & I then made a visit to the Bell at Kersey. A really great old medieval village with a ford (AKA splash). Whilst enjoying a quiet libation in this old inn we spotted a small amount of precipitation . Morganthefreeman wisely raised his hood as we raced Le Mans style to the cars. Hawki & I enjoyed a good drenching especially waiting politely for Morganthefreeman to put up his hood as a shower turned into a monsoon. The splash was now a torrent & the clean car dirty again. But boy was it fun. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/20201014_143331.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/20201014_143337.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/20201014_150533.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/20201014_150539.jpg)
