One man's (actually 2 men's) attempt to prove to Colin Chapman that the Eleven & Elite could be improved upon in virtually ever area ...

Lovely thing (car, not you - but don’t take it personally )

[Gary71]

I’ve borrowed this for the weekend to try something a little different from my usual Crewe based motors.

Summary: I don’t like it.

Looks spectacular, but interior looks out of place in a 50k car let alone a 250k car. Also no traction to speak of and incredibly nervous on a wet road. Looks spectacular though

^ Is that a signature on the bonnet ?

[Gary71]

It’s a badge referencing back to the DB4/5/6 era construction by Carrozzeria Touring ‘Superleggera’ which is ‘Superlight’

[sladey]

Is that the V12 or the Merc V8 version? I understand the V8 is more of a drivers car

[Gary71]

V12 Twin Turbo.
715bhp & 900nm
Or enough in other words!

[sladey]

Way too much - other than top trumps and knob waving that much power serves no purpose

[Gary71]

Correct. Particularly in this weather it can’t deploy more than about 200 of the 715 without lighting the rear wheels

Here's somethng you don't see every day

And very early this morning. North West of Dijon...

[23e Heure]

Love the roads around there.

D974 to Dijon. D971 from Dijon through Chatillon to Troyes. D619/D951 to Sezanne and Epernay. No phone/sat nav. I jotted those instructions down on a bit of paper the night before and winged it. Old skool
Left Beaune at 5.30 and first time I had to slow for any traffic was just outside Epernay - worth the early start and I was thinking they were more enjoyable than the Napoleon which I've done twice. Think I can expect a speeding ticket from a camera just outside Troyes though
Motorway from Reims...
