Looked very good[quote==J=]What do you mean ?
I opened the passenger door, I got in, we went and ripped the tarmac off the local A roads
Made some Porsche driver's chin hit the floor and bounce back up again, rofl....[/quote]
J - what we are asking is how come you got to ride in it? Why you? DO you know someone at AM? It's just not normal to walk down the road and be offered a lift in a car not yet available!!!

[quote==J=]Ahhhh....
I could tell ya, but then I would have to track you down
A friend, of a friend, of a friend.......
Needless to say, I nearly pee'd my pants. I have NEVER been in a car that sounded/made me feel like the AMV8 did at full boar !![/quote]
Did it feel quick then. After all some speculation has been said it feels underpowered. How about the poise and handling? The ride? The comfort?
Details J , details
:lickslipsinanticipation:
p.s. there's no one else reading , just Gary, Rich and I

I have heard the 'underpowered' theory but it felt quick enough for me. I think people have been 'spoiled' by V12's and need to give the V8 a chance. I imagine it will loosen up in time like the V12's do.
Handling, OMG, did it stick !! Change of direction was superb.
Comfort, as expected, no where near as harsh as the 911's I have been in. It seemed very akin to DB9 levels.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, IMO, comes close to the noise it makes though
Please bear in mind that this was a 10 min blat and 9.5 mins of that was spent grinning and not paying much attention, lol....
Dealer launch starts next week, I can imagine a few more in depth reviews after that
I have a lovely pic of AMV8 flying about 3 feet off the ground. I just can't figure out how to put it up ???

Dokic returneth any one ??
Crossed my mind too!!
sorry, don't get it ?
Guy joins an Internet forum, recently, claims to have been in one of the hottest cars awaited this year and won't give details, though he now has, does that not get your radar going in the slightest ??
P.s If it doesnt i got a really really hot stockmarket tip for you
