What on earth possessed me to buy a 17'4" two-seater that weighs over 2 ton?

I once caused a range rover sport driver to display anger and road rage when I beat him away from the lights with my ford truck I dont think he was pleased that I happened to be towing a loaded car trailer at the time hey enjoy yours, fun and practical too... what more could a guy want???...

Congratulations Mark. I've run a Lightning for 8 years now as a daily driver. Would not wish for anything else. They are the best, enjoy mate

Blew the doors of a wide-boy in a E46 330Ci in the Lightning once.

He's leaning out his window (LHD is perfect for having a chat here) going "What the fk engine is in that?!"

"395hp Supercharged V8."

"Faaark."

Have owened Lightning's for over 12 years now.

Current one on the Road 570 RWHP

Track its 650+ RWHP 10.85 on the n1/4 mile and takes the front wheels off
the ground.

Great fun on the street traffic light gamblers :-)
Not many even get a cars lentgh in front before all you see is the tail lights
disappear off in the distance.....

There must be a small part of you that wants to wind the motec up, fit the Mickey Ts and spend a morning negotiating traffic lights with your front wheels in the air?

The temptation is too much on the bike. In fact, that ET would come close matching my R1 IIRC.
