Good little video - I like that guy who presents the channel.

Ritchie his usual laid back self and love it or hate it - it's a cool car!

Jonny is fast becoming a master at the 20 minute videos.
That the car is already so light is a real achievement, driving without belts goes against my grain, but I'm not in there!

I hope they never hit a stray cardboard box in the road as I have a feeling I know what may come off worse.

I enjoyed the video (as with most that Jonny does) - beats most of what is on "normal" TV.

Having seen the car whilst it was being built and then completed, its a work of art. Richies attention to detail on each and every component was getting on the obsessive side to say the least!

The pedal cluster was always a talking point. Drilling the brake pedal was always a concern! The wheels I think are a work of art and the cost alone per wheel must be eye watering.

The original megaphone exhausts were aluminium and to say it was a tad loud when it first run is an understatement.
