LOL, i don't take chances with customers cars even though i'm fully insured, the amount of instant on tap torque this thing has even at low revs demands a bit of respect, and a better driver than me to make the most of it!

So yes, i'm a screaming woofter :)

It may not be an Enzo but it still goes sideways very easily now in the dry, in the wet i haven't got the space (or the nerve) to make a decent video showing what it can do, unless you chaps just want to see lots of wheelspin and very little forward motion!

I've never seen a summer as crap as this, it has rained almost constantly here for months now.

LOL - that gave me visions of Tut selling 1/4 lb bags of Mint Imperials, like Arkwright in Open All Hours. & Thought to myself, that wouldn't be so bad.

Yes it was dry here today, but I had too much work on today, so it will probably be tomorrow now.

Ok here is the first video we have done, only part throttle runs i'm afraid, we only have 100 yards to play with outside of the unit, the rest is too rough to take an Elise over. I will be taking better video and doing full throttle passes when we take it out onto the road when we are happy that initial testing is complete. Also my iphone sucks majorly at decent audio capture, but hey at least it's stopped raining and we could do a video!

More to come.
