Doug said Lola kept him busy keeping up and I can imagine why. Even the PDK on sports mode couldn't always keep up with the selection I wanted. Might have to use the paddles/switches. Particularly when coming into a corner where I want faster down changes to ready for the power out phase. Either that or leave it in manic sports plus mode.

Had I been in Herman I may not have enjoyed it as much as no choice but to run at that speed. Maybe more aircooled runs to keep it fun.

On the positive side Lola is looking amazing and sounds great. The car in front 'did a Doug' and took a pic of us out its sunroof Got to see the Orange T - didn't take any pics as didn't want to spoil the next reveal. Looks amazing in the flesh - that colour will just pop once all the trim is in.

Or do a 911T with a big mowtah! What is the equivalent word to bogan for a person who likes hotrodded Porsches?

And to your last question, the phrase you're looking for is..... 'Dave'
