Seems that the LV event was very top shelf.
My question for the Barber attendees is:

Why the differences between the rolling Prototype and the display car in the headlamp area and the tail lamp area?

I wonder if Daniel will be able to ask the 918 to do a second thing before it has finished the first.

Gentle, gentle, gentle...
