I finally managed to get my GC on a 250ml round trip down to London last weekend.
I was at at the lights at the bottom of Park Lane near Hyde Park Corner when, out of the corner of my eye I spotted a 10yr old boy bouncing up and down gesturing for me to rev it. I hit The Sport button and gave him the obligatory few blips in neutral before gunning it off the lights.
I will always remember the grin on his face as I went past…. I can pretty much guarantee it wasn’t for Tesla that was sat next to me.
To think that the aural pleasure (no double entendres please) we get from our ICE cars is not shared by the younger generation is a falicy. It is the entire experience of driving a GC (or similar exotic) that makes us all love them so much. Looks, sound, driving thrills et al.
I have had the luck to drive some truly awesome machinery in my time and there will always be some of us that will pay £10 a ltr to have those thrills again and put that grin on a kids face… even if that kid is me!
