I totally agree it's great to see it on the road. I also think to have an id=
iot who clearly can't drive it belittles it's provenance.=20
Its a race car, driven like it handles worse than a Toyota Camry.=20
Sorry if I offended, but that bloke made a Le Mans provenance Healey look st=
upid. Because he can't drive a 1950's car and make it sing and do all the th=
ings a beautiful ex factory race car can do.=20
My comment about his line? It's an ex factory Le Mans race car.....=20
Reminds me of when Jeremy Clarkson took a Toyota Prius around the Top Gear t=
rack. Bloody funny television, but not what the Prius was designed for, nor t=
he way it was intended to be driven.=20
