Have you seen the new Honda 2 seater.  Guess where it got it's styling from,
it's a bit of XJS and a bit of Spitfire.  Very nice.  P.S. Who saw Top Gear
brake the 180 MPH circular track record for a production car (Held by a Jag)
with ease, taking it to 194 MPH in a mere McClaren F1!!!  The tyres they
were using were good for 240 MPH, but with the cornering etc, they started
to blister at 200.3 and so he had to ease off.  If they get the tire thing
sorted they could easily broken 200 MPH. PS the hands free speed for the
track is 94 MPH so it must have been a lot to keep it in a circle.
