DRIVING
Just one thing we have to repeat time and time again.....
THE NOISE!
Did we just say OH THE NOISE....
What a wonderful thing to drive, This car is not a wolf in sheeps clothing, Nor is it a sheep in wolfs clothing, it is neither of these yet it is all of them, in fact this wondeful car has the heart of a lion and yet the deftness of a mouse. She can be anything you want her to be.
She plays at being a sports car, a luxury cruiser, a wind in the hair convertible, a practical shopping car. Anything you choose.
She is comfortable and luxurious, she is Sumptious and High Quality, She is relaxing and steady, but open her up.......
She is now tenacious, a Rip snorting attack on the senses and a bucking & riving drivers car that will teach you the art of driving a Machine.
She is more than just the some of her parts, She is highly desirable and sought after.
She is ICONIC......
