While I keep waiting for the shock absorbers to be fixed (over a month now), here's another pic...

It's still the UK plate actually, out there you can buy almost any plate you like

Here in Belgium, they are much more strict, but i've ordered a personal plate too

Took her out yesterday and today, did about 350 miles I think...
This thing is absolutely mental... quite docile in traffic, but touch the loud pedal and a deep roar, straight from hell it would seem, bellows out from behind you, while you're pressed deep into the excellent bucket seats... The metallic click-clack from the gear changes sound s so clear in between the V12 roar...

Touched 300KPH (185MPH) briefly, and even then it still pulls like crazy... I bet it'll just bang into the revlimiter at about 210MPH or so...

Fuel consumption is ridiculous, the fuel gauge is nothing more than an ornament, as it's nowhere near accurate...

Even a Vauxhall Nova (Opel Corsa) looks like a Q7 when you're next to it, it sits soooo low

God I love this car

Also, this little item came by UPS this week

Looks a bit weird due to my cellphone cam, but it's perfect

Sounds like the real deal! Where and at what time of day did you 'briefly hit 300 kph'?
