That is truly beautiful. What's the safe distance for cyclists? Gouts of flame, and an open chain drive threatening their lycra bulges.
I spent five years commuting from Chichester and used to dread the annual Goodwood "Festival of Speed". Festival of boiling-over old crocks pulled over and blocking the traffic, normally with a fat red-faced man shouting into a mobile phone while his bored wife sat staring into space pretending she was somewhere else.
Gorgeous car, and as you say, perfect for a stop-start journey!
The last time I went to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed, one of the French car companies 'programmed' a racing car to play The Marseillaise. The result was two almost burst eardrums, so that was fun...

ReplyDeleteJust think of all the triggered eco warriors en route, marvelous ...............
ReplyDeleteSam - If we lived nearer it sounds like the kind of thing I'd go and watch.
ReplyDeleteScrobs - as a tribute to modern France maybe M Macron could arrange a version of the The Marseillaise played by water cannon.
Demetrius - but could it emit great spurts of flame?
Wiggia - yes a few green heads must have burst along the way.
