Navajo Indian themed interior in charred brown leather.
Sturdy but smells of kippers.

Sat in the garden this evening enjoying a glass, my ears pricked up.
Somewhere distant there was a deep, flat six vibration.
5 minutes later something extraordinary trundled past.
It looked incredible and sounded like something you hear in the paddock at le Mans. The suspension was
not suited to local conditions.
Perhaps my neighbour has a new motor. Any guesses what it might be so I don't look like complete idiot when he stops by for a chat tomorrow morning.

Only just realized ... it’s a Tiptonic too ! Sheep in wolfs clothing. Don’t get me wrong, I love a modified Porsche , but the hype around a RW modded car is huge when really a lot of the time it’s all style over substance ... almost £200k !

That’s the V.A.D. one. They got the RWB “stylist” (he’s not a tuner in my book), to do his usual stuff on that one.... then copied the panels to make their own body kit to sell as VAD product. Ouch! Didn’t take off though, without the big social media following that RWB has.
