I love the T1 and can't wait to see it up against other fast cars etc etc. I just hope that they get the thing hanging together a bit better.

What cracked me up was Mr Clarkson saying it has no grip and then when the Stig was belting it around the track he says "Almost F1 levels of grip". Err make up your mind!:roll:

I would like to bet that it has a good ammount of mechanical grip to start with but because its such a fast car you have to be careful. Not that is has low grip to start with or at low speed. It is around 500kg and running on wide trackday rubber by the looks of it. So I don't think it will be as bad as he was making out. It sounded like a Robin Reliant had more grip when he was describing it in the reviewlol

I think he was referring to the grip it had when it went round a fast corner at that point. Did seem to be a bit wobbly though at slower speeds, even with the Stig behind the wheel.

I wonder if they do a saloon version. I'd buy it.

Wobbly it may have looked, but I bet he was batting along still i.e. cornering alot faster than your normal everyday supercar. Didn't you think that he was making it sound like a granny in a mobility scooter would out handle it in the review?

Anyway how about one with a roof to keep the rain off?

Wobbly or not, it's overall lap-time was phenominal.

I'd put up with a bit of wobble if i could lap 10 seconds quicker than a Koeinegigiesiegiesiegsiseg

''Couldn't stop faster if you crashed into a tree'' - Clarkson
Brakes must've been built by a real Pro ;)

you should see their headquarters, next to the hot tub shop, round the back of Morrisons in Hinckley. they go round the morrisons roundabout with prospective buyers strapped in, and go faster & faster. I did hear 80mph mentioned. 1 bloke had a seizure...
