I can only say it is bloody hell with the women in the office, ear-ache and blinding too! They can't even hold a decent conversation, for them cars are just something to go shopping in.

It may be fast going down hill, but I went 2.7s faster than ever before going up hill at Longleat Park and that has no grip in the dry and no hope when wet. That does not include the part between the trees that always stays green with a steep drop to the right, which can seriously damage car, you, and wallet if things go wrong!!! So it’s not a soft southern hill.
It seems more vocal in the video because I have found recently a slightly damaged fin on the compressor wheel just before I went to Brunty, but it also could be that it just sucks the air in with great velocity that it whistle (preferred explanation) :D

Alpineandy, you say smooth and quick? well "Ducks on water" comes to mind. It's smooth on the surface but paddling like mad down below :wink:
