I am excited to see it - but not so much that I'll sit in a crowded theater. I'm looking forward to streaming it!! The clips I've seen look really compelling and casting AD was inspired!

I was going to post my lovely little 3.4 S Boxster but I’ll not bother now.

Most people will not know, but that one is a real track tool with a marvelous gearbox. You can shift gears in curves without any load change reaction, really remarkable.

The Espada drives like a truck, at least the early ones without power steering. A lot better is the technically similar Jarama, also called the "forgotten Lamborghini". Presumably because of the shorter wheelbase. When I began to reduce my classic car fleet, I decided to sell the Espada and keep the Jarama. The Jarama is imo the best front engined Lamborghini in terms of drivability. Of course the 350, 400 and Islero are probably more attractive with respect to exterior and interior design, but less good on the road. I recall a club event, when a Countach followed me on country roads. The driver commented that he had found it difficult not to loose me. A Jarama with well restored suspension and engine is simply a dream to drive. Except at very low speeds (no power steering). I cannot comment on the mid engined cars due to lack of experience.

As I have a dislike of the idea of sitting in the dark with members of the great unwashed pubic that I don’t know, or for that matter want to, whist they fυck about with their phones, rattle chip packets, talk over the dialogue, burp and fart whilst their horrible obnoxious sprogs kick the back of my seat, run about and argue with each other…………..I’ll be content to wait until it streams

Yeah the original “pubic” is probably closer to the reality of the cinema experience

I’m sorry to say what you describe is already streaming.

That’s a still from “Slow Horses” and yeah the character depicted pretty well sums up the general pubic……. He’s horrible, a great character,

It never ceases to amaze me how much shit some people will suck to be able to have a “brand” are they so insecure that they have to possess something to validate their very existence? That they have to have it not because of any reason like it’s technically superior, is of the highest quality or best does the job that they require it for…….no they have to have it because the brand image is first and foremost in their deranged mind, they neither know nor really care about about innovation, technological design or quality craftsmanship…..they say they do to justify their purchase, but they don’t really have a clue. They’ll swallow all the marketing bullshit as gospel and parrot it about to any poor bastard within earshot.
