    According to the local papers, someone in Galway has managed to secure one of these 0-60MPH in 2.5 seconds beasts.:eek:
    figures quoted for the car range from 1.2 to 1.7 million euros.:eek:
    can't wait to hear what the insurance quote is.:D

    Its the same one, AFAIK. The owner intends to keep it in Spain though, according to the papers.

    It's not the owner of Cunningham Higgins that bought it. It is the owner of cash and carry kitchens.

    If he can afford to spend €1.4m on a car I'm sure he's not worried too much about tax...

    i've never seen them go in anything but a straight line. can they make right and left turns at all or is that limited to low gears or something?

    That would be nice to see, although the Hamster was driving, I'd much rather see Clarkson blown up in a spectacular fireball :D

    I bet it sucks a wee bit now though seeing as it no longer has the prestige of being the worlds fastest production car.........;)
