COTW = Car Of The Week in case you were wondering–we’re making this stuff up as we go along. Quick pic and quick thoughts. In the garage and ready to roll. Jonny and I will be taking her for a run on our secret test route this weekend and will be back with photos and a full report. And we’re trying to rustle up a Porsche GT3 to run with. Quick thoughts: #1 SST is the way to go, don’t be a Luddite! #2 One of the best steering wheels I’ve ever laid a hand on. #3 Except for SST and maybe intermittent wipers, no auto anything. Shock! Horror! You even have to turn the headlights on when it’s dark. And the wipers when it’s wet. And, like oh my gosh, there’s a key, and a place to put it. And you actually have to turn it… Clearly an honest tarmac weapon. More later.
