Sun’s still shining, looking kinda nice here.

It was a bit peculiar in parts but an excellent ending.

Now waiting for a friend to finish work to meet up for eats and drinkies.

I remember that one. Did he have a lot of credit cards?

I think the best one was the chap from Slovakia or somewhere close who obviously was a stranger to soap & water, wasn't allowed to enter the country, and was compelled to take a shower for the benefit of the passengers on the flight back whereever he'd come from.

Looked up the specs:
3.5L V6, 288bhp, 18mpg average.
Allegedly 0-60 is 6.7sec, but I think the person who measured that possibly died of boredom.

Remarkably, the kerb weight is “only” 1,900kg, and it’s got a 6 speed box (ZF). As for looks, here’s one of those marketing shots designed to make it look as good as it possibly can...
