Okay... first, it's a great Top Gear segment.

Second... it's just one awesomely incredible vehicle.

Weighing just a little over a 1000#... 300hp... 0-60km/h in 2.9 seconds... ~$35k USD.
I'll take two, please.

I think my new signature is going to be "Someone I don't like very much is going to end up with my eyes".
