Couldn't believe my mince pies!! It was travelling down the M66 coming towards me, thought to myself, looks like a chunky DB7, then realised what it was sort of ash black colour, looked very nice. About 3 cars back was a silver scoob, I bet they got a bit of a suprise!!

I have seen one of these at a garage nr Wilmslow, they're awsome. Apparently the owner uses it on track days, one to watch out for!

Yeh, have heard the v12 is a sweet sounding engine, however it would have to be competing against mine with a Nur SpecR, god does it sound fanbloodytastic, drive everywhere with window down to get full effect, I know sad or what

Well I've sat in one... so there
V12 sounds amazing at idle - really load and bassy. But when it pulls away it's suddenly really quiet
