We should, but I'm just too un-original.

In honesty, while the GT is terrifyingly competent and *very* quick,
it's not really doing it for me.

Damned if I can work out why.

Sadly not at the moment.

I *may* be doing a track day on Saturday, but it'll be in a Fiat, not an
Alfa.

You do have very dubious taste in bolt on tat.

Hmm. I was thinking about the last lot, with the shininess thing.

And can I point out that the bolt on 'tat' was factory bolted on.

In tandem with that, can I also make the point that your entire track
day 'car' is tat, upon which a driver has been bolted? Eye thenk ewe

...what you mean it didn't produce amazing amounts of downforce??? How
could that be - wasn't it big enough?

That subtle reposte is more like a good poke in the eye! LOL.

Well, it was heavy enough, so there was down 'force'

I don't 'do' subtle, as Steve well knows
Anyway, anyone that drives a yellow punto track day car is fair game IMHO.
