Got bored when I realised that nothing in there is actually available in an even detuned road version.

I mean, what happened to homologation?

I like good close racing whatever the format.

It's a good job Mat reacts as he does, it's so undramatic otherwise.

I find the guy quite unwatchable. Turned it off quite quickly. Same with all his drag race stuff.

I’ve discovered Carl Hartleys YouTube channel, he comes across as being very down to earth and gives interesting perspectives on the super and hypercar markets. https://youtu.be/5-MnvqLEbAo

I don’t think either of the Astons realised the Beemer had nowhere to go....

Beany - John Q Citizen is able to purchase roadgoing versions of each of these cars, so you are cleared to observe. Repeat. Cleared to observe.

This isn’t a decent car YouTube - this drag-race pish is beneath Tiff imho, but posting as they seem to have found both the ugliest LFA and the ugliest series2 R8 To compete with it...

I like that LFA! But then I probably like any LFA.

One of the employees put on a joke plate that said “PENIS HOLE”, but Peter Wheelers Dog famously ate some of the lettering - leaving behind the combination pictured. Peter thought it was such a jolly jape that he immediately purchased the plate for the press car.

He famously pre-ordered PN15 OUL, PN15 OOO and PN15 YUM from the DVLA for an undisclosed sum, but his untimely death in 2009 denied him the joy of ever seeing them on a roadgoing TVR, although rumours abound that he had one of those printed onto a show plate by an unscrupulous plate manufacturer and mounted on his wife’s car some time In February 2007. His wife didn’t spot it, but the joke rather backfired when Peter had to be rushed to A&E with a split side and pants literally full of piss.

It's not the story I expected, but clearly it was the story we deserved.

Just look at the details of the car in the first minute of the video

Difficult for me to rank my favourites: CGT, (early) Zonda, F40, F50, F1

Yeah nothing wrong with yellow LFA
