That fancy hybrid may have been usable, but mostly around the country club or ski lodge, eh?

When I said “useable”, I meant as a daily driver.
The Acura NSX works throughout it’s intended range.
Heat, air, electronics, heavy traffic, dirty air, like a regular production sedan. Of course tire life is short due to sticky soft rubber.
I loved the engine roar right behind me.
Exotic cars bear a great deal of similarity to handmade shotguns.
Some are for owning and looking at.
Out there doing it best I can.

A little different in use-ability but the thing that bonded PA24 and I most was we both had de Tomaso Panteras. And man, when that thing was roaring 6 inches behind your head......A driving thrill like no other. Plus, there is a glass window to the engine bay so you can look at it if you want. Definitely NOT a daily driver.

I did some work with Maybach.
The service tech said that he had to make certain that any of their cars would start at 40 below zero after sitting all night outside some oligarchs Moscow mistress’ apartment, as well as be cool when sitting all afternoon idling outside the tent of a Sheik’s mistress in the Arabian desert.
They are very well made cars that also work as intended.

It was the 275 degree operating temperature range that caught my interest.
Imagine the tolerance range that has to be addressed.
At 300k you get 32? way electrically adjustable seating.
Cashmere carpet (meh) and a real burl walnut dash.

Hello Clapper Zapper, You would be more than welcome to visit our factory to see how much work goes into producing one of our guns and the level of investment required, next time you are visiting the UK.

I’d like that.
Your with Longthorne?
Maybe mid August.
Depends on the hatch somewhat.
Say Hello to Les, the diving, coffee roasting dude for me if you cross paths.
It’s a small world.

Not surprising that there was a link between B&E and H&H. When I visited the H&H factory back in 2001, they were doing quite a bit of work with CNC machines.
