Well I picked it up this afternoon and I'm pretty happy right now. Unfortunately I had a dinner meeting organised with one of our customers so haven't had much of a chance to take it for a decent drive.

I test drove it and so did my wife and I thought for something that's supposed to make 340HP this is surprisingly civilized, almost tame even. The idle is a little bit cammy but it tootles along in traffic nicely. On the way home I thought there has to be more to it so I stuck my boot into it a couple of times. It's an auto and it kicked down quite snappily and the ute took on a whole new character. The engine note changed dramaticaly as If I'd given the sleepy rotweiler's testicles a good squeeze and it lept into action. Great fun! This thing is going to cost me my licence if I'm not careful.

Cheers
