I've driven this car and it's a hoot! Very fast and also very well sorted.

I expect someone will snap Kelly's offer up quickly, and will be very satisfied.

Here's a direct link to the How-It-Was-Done article:

I sent the links to the membership of our local british car club, including the HIWD link.  Good luck, Kelly!

As they say, GLWS!

My comments from that other forum:

QuoteKelly has build a great machine. It is a very reliable, very exhilarating car to drive. Does it all, tame to tiger, mild mannered to E-ticket ride. I know because I have spent a good bit of time in the driver seat chauffeuring Kelly thru the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The midrange punch is awesome! People pay good money to go to amusement parks to get their thrills. I got mine passing cars on two lanes roads in this machine with Kelly grinning from ear to ear. Yeehaw!

I concur with all of the other remarks about this car, having spent many hundreds of miles behind the wheel, I know just how good it is.  Turn the key, it starts and goes and goes and goes.  At that price, somebody better jump quickly or lose out on a great car.

Starts warming up around here in about 45-60 days - keep the faith & send the info to BAT around then -- lots of visibility that way.
