Sounds very nice to me and some cool roads with narrow twisties, what is that computer thing on the dash that looks like it came from a Taxi?

Looks as though he's breaking the law and or driving with in the limit of having fun and staying in control ..zooming down residential streets with out getting in an accident.

Okay, I will just come out and say it. He might know how to build an engine, but he can't drive worth sh*t.

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but I wasn't there so he may have had reasons we don't know about though. Still pretty much think his driving was missing the same thing a gelding is.

LOL!!!

I was actually just frustrated by the constant short shifting and no room to open er up!Bad road for the vid...SOmething with more visibility and longer high speed stretches would have been the ticket.Looks like it moves nicely tho!I want the engine..
