Enjoying driving in this hot weather, car seems to stick to the road like 'brown stuff' to a stick especially round those tight bends :D
Cant say I've ever owned a car with 'limpet' like handling..

Yeah but the engine kicks a lot harder on those frosty mornings, much better throttle response exactly when you need it least :roll:

Apparently the old Jag XJ220 varied by as much as 70bhp depending on ambient temperature. Thats a small engines worth!

And the cockpit is of course a joy when the temperatures are high.... Sweatfest :?
