Always interesting to hear what he's thinking.

Best part was his opinion about the Cayman.

Road cars you admire?

The purest new sports car for me is the Ferrari 458. And the best is the Porsche Cayman S. Among old cars, the (original) Lotus Elan is the ultimate, better than the F1. We tried to get its delicious steering feel in the F1 but we just missed it.

I am more forgiving, but anyhow this link is a kind of a cool analogy to analysing cars (and, in a way, bolsters our appreciation for the CGT in both its simplicity and purity of purpose):

I'll soon be getting back to my lovely CGT this weekend (from Zurich to Paris to Burgundy). She has been waiting rather patiently and maybe a bit short with me as it has taken so long to get behind the wheel again... (Oh, and stereo details to follow).

Cheers,

Steve
