Here's the video from Toad Tv that I took part in on Sunday morning. Fortunately the majority of the claptrap that I was coming out with during the interview didn't make the final cut, so there's a lot more car, which is a blessing for us all ;)

Toad Tv are a bunch of Lotus enthusiasts that started reviewing the various Lotus models, but due to a rapidly increasing number of viewers thanks to their fun and light hearted approach, they are branching out into other marques... There may well be a maserati GTS one in the pipeline.

If you're interested in offering your own car PM me and I'll forward on your contact details.

......"It does feel like a big car".......

ANYTHING feels like a big car coming from a Lotus! :D

Just watched it, very descent, a little amateurish, but hey, they have to start somewhere.

Dont worry about your narration (that I know you were concerned about) as I think your being over critical of yourself, you come across very well, and dare I say, you almost look nervous sat in the passenger seat.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good stuff Matt, only mildly nervous :)

Rich drove it very considerately, plus I have faith in him having driven on track with him on a couple of occasions.
I love the noise of the fly-bys, I could listen to them all day!

Matt,

Don't give it away. we all know it was on a farmers road!! definately.. :saifi4:

I could see some the edit's Dan with your earlier footage, what time of day did you get up and run the shoot.. dare I ask.

I love that shot down the back of the race course. the sound is epic.!!

Interestingly I was sitting in a new Aventator just yesterday,, what a car, what I really liked was all the controls on the centre console, the whole design was straight out of my wifes Audi S8 so I felt I could just get in and go knowing what most switches do... not that I have the bank balance for that here in Aus...

Entry price is $840K yes,,, no options.... so I would need to sell the wife and one of the houses to foot that bill... for the time being I will stick to my little masser.... mine is a deeper sound than yours, but I prefer your high end pitch when she does the fly by... beautiful car Dan..


are you coming on the factory tour, still looking for my ride mate!! :beat_brick:

Ozzie..

$840,000!!!!!! Holy cow!

I bet you don't see too many of them driving about over there then, not that you see many here either at the bargain price of £250-300k
Give it a couple of years when they are sub £150k (and when I have the chance to make the cash!) and I might like one. Me and Andy were looking at the one on the stand at the Paris show, it is a fantastic looking machine. But if a Gallardo feels massive an Aventador must feel as wide as a truck.

Ozzie, the offer of co-driver for a factory tour is still there. Not sure when it's actually going to be though??
And depending on when it is, we may be in a supercar or perhaps on a tandem bicycle, as next month I'm making myself unemployed and concentrating on my new venture.

I'll try and make sure it's a supercar.... Anyone wanna buy some dog food?
