So much love for these as you know G. Driving one just makes everything else feel so slow and disconnected.
Great review and kudos to @evo98 for getting one

After being in Tony's E30, I can really see why he went for this, as I'm sure there wasn't many other 'sensible' options out there. I would love a run in it, looks like an absolute hoot.

Any video G?
