Hi Charles, I appreciate what you are saying and noted the car was quick on my journey home last night however, I currently own a 347bhp Merc SLK which is lighter than the XKR therefore, as you can appreciate I am used to the looks and boy racers trying (trying hard) to take me on without success :-) Im fortunate to live in a small village on the edge of the Brecon Beacons (Penderyn) where the A4059 passes through and is a favourite test track for Richard Hammond. Seen him once or twice.
