More like . . . deeply-deeply impressed
Mr Dickenson's approach reminds of Pigani's. Along w/ all the eye-candy --- not-to-mention the feeling/listening when this thing gets going . . . one gets towering performance
And remember --- these cars are all built-to-suit. If An Owner wants bling/crass/naff/vulgar . . . Mr D will serve it right up. And profitably. Not his fault --- or the car's
And you're right . . .
. . . a Singer is about as far away from the kinds of cars that I come here for as it's possible to be --- and, yet? . . .
. . . it's an amazing thing up-close
And SOOOOOOOO much money --- really appalling
I still wonder how it drives, though . . .
. . . and how 'stripped-down' can one be had
I think the fact that it runs the quarter mile in 11 seconds is impressive, and I'm not a drag race kind of guy. And when you think of the fact that Chris Harris gets to drive all manor of modern top dollar machinery and he gushed over the Singer... That's saying a lot about how they drive.
Got this link today from PCA email, and thought it was Singer. Alarmingly similar to Singer at first glance.
