I was more attentive to the racket he made while shifting due to the bracelets knocking about.

So if James May was Russian... I'd say this is his cousin just like the Stig seems to have cousins in every country. God help us if they discover the Russian Jeremy Clarkson! Or am I just Putin?

Interior's not bad and the layout is fairly intuitive, but you don't really pay attention to the cheapness of it when you're driving; it's made so that you don't take your attention from the important part...the driving. He continues go on about enjoying driving the car, stating that he's smiled since he drove the first km and hasn't stopped smiling. The car is very comunicative regarding what the tires are doing, slip angle, what input is needed mid-corner, etc.. It just holds to the corners like it's defying physics; he mentions it doesn't have any pretentions to hooliganism, but neither does it have that classy air to it. It really reminds him of the marquees Lotus and Mazda. Its got a trunk, but the back seats are useless...they are an etension of the trunk when folded flat, really. It's a true return to tradition.
How'd you hear all that over his chains clinking together?!

Once I look past all the bling I have to say...

Holy hell that car corners flat for a stock car. Usually sways are the biggest bang for the buck suspension mod. But maybe not this time.

Driver is wearing more bling than your average rap star.
Lol, he is wearing a watch that's bigger than the steering wheel...
