The next couple of shots would have been more interesting because we had a bit of a problem getting slowed for the hairpin that follows, a bit too much rear bias on the brakes, did a half-spin, and backed it against a curb, luckily without bending the spiffy new rims.

It certainly does.

The car looks great this year, good luck Ferdy smileys with beer
