Red Triumph Vitesse = flying brick.

No comment on the CD, but as it somehow gets all the way up to 120mph before 
the front starts to lift, (dangerously), I class that as nothing short of a 
miracle, (or power to weight ratio), but then again NASA says bees can't fly!

If I'd been interested in CD then I'd have bought that Lotus Elan instead!
