Now, if the signage was 'Vodafone' then drive it, otherwise park it out of sight and drive the damn SE!!

Well, that thing is very hard to drive....... Slowly ;-)
So much power and torque coupled with very short clutch take up means real solid kick in back on each gear change and hitting national speed limit before you realise
Brakes were good, tyres were not
Bit of a rolly barge but man can it cover the ground in a hurry
I wouldn't mind it for a couple of weeks but no doubt would not have a licence by then

I'm sure crapweasel would agree, but I reckon its phenomenal power is due to all those stickers - if you "sticker-bomb" MINX too, you would blow the doors off that V8 taxi!
