"Fastest car in Britain", bit of an exaggeration but I like it. You might even fit a bike in the back as well :D

    That's lovely, although I'd have less blingy wheels on it. That claim is definitely an exaggeration though.

    so is it a 67 or a 69?

    I doubt that will get over the 250mph of a Veyron Supersport, especially when only 205moh is claimed for it....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ngine.html

    That said top speed is pretty irrelevant in the Uk and I dare say it's pretty quick but I really doubt it can go round a race track faster than say a 458 with it's better aero, lighter weight etc.
