Shame about the big ugly UK numberplate on the front. A little Italian style plate in between the bumpers would look better.

Is it an optical illusion or does the tornado have some seriously cool negative camber.. :thumb:

I said the same thing on the shoot, it looks huge.

The Lotus powered car was at Gaydon in Sept and at the October Brooklands meet......... very very nice piece of engineering to get the Lotus engine in there.

And the 750...... so desirable (and so pricey now!)
