He'll let me drive it as he knows what I am like-anyway we've swapped each others cars many times before.
I noticed he was bricking it a bit more with me on this one though.

I was under the impression the gearbox was a bit crap?
Not that that would put me off. I'd blag a testdrive from the Pangbourne dealership but I don't fancy the dry cleaning bill for the seats.

The gearbox is excellent IMO. Shorter shift than the S, and very neat and tidy.
