Thanks for the reply, Mike. Interesting comments re it being too benign and I hadn't considered the turbo lag issue.
Very eagle eyed on the red car's front end which I can now see (thanks to your perception).
Did I see your black car at Silver Arrows at some point after you had off loaded?

I had similar impressions of the (silver) RHD car I owned ~ 20 years ago - I described it as like being in an intercity passenger train ... I felt the car was too efficient (fairly quiet with little sensation of the speed you were travelling at) & you needed to be going very quickly before you started to enjoy it.
Having said that, it is a very practical car with lots of space & very good fuel consumption.
