    Drive report:

    Well the first drive was about as scary as it could be. I went to the customs clearance armed with some jumper leads some petrol and the expectation to call a tow truck.. howevere the car kicked over after about 20 seconds. Brakes were ok, fluids were OK.. so lets drive this home.

    Now an unknown car, LHD, 345bhp and a wet day make for a very cautious ride home.. not to mention it sounding like a vintage race car as it has no mufflers and 2.5" pipes.

    Yesterday i got some time with the car, went for a few runs, in the dry its less scary.. it pulls cleanly from any revs in any gear like a train and i am yet to get it past 3000rpm. my first impressions are that the 3.07 rear while fun might be just a little quick for street use.. i seem to be on anybodys tail in a flash and gearing is relative to acceleration, i have a choice from 4th to first of: fast, faster, really fast and oh my!

    I need to get some mufflers, new brake light switch, orange indicator lenses, RHD dipped headlights.. then get registered! Oh … and join TEAE!
