Unless yall don't rely on drive thrus as much as we do here in America.
Great car anyways.

Hi Ace

You don't see that many lambo's around but there are a lot of Aston Martin's my buddy has a DB9 and we drove both cars through Germany this year i will post some pics and a video on the Autobahn later

As regards the left hand drive, well yeah it could suck in a Maccy d's but i don't abuse my body with fast food (only beer)! lol

We live 20miles from france so we are always driving over there, so thats better!

Regarding getting looks, all the time, on a recent drive from LA to vegas every other car seems to be a Mustang you can spot them easy in the dark with the sequential indicators ! lol

I agree with flat black. I did something a little unique though. 3M makes a stripe in Carbon Fiber Look. From a distance, you think it's flat black, but up close, it looks and feels like a Carbon Fiber Weave. It doesn't look like a cheap sticker, actually looks like real CF. I opted to go with a Dodge Viper ACR inspired stripe, one larger stripe, one smaller strip. One thing you may want to do is run the stripe directly over the driver's side seat, just like the ACR. If I could go back, thats what I'd do.

I had two "black stripes" over the hood/trunk deck of a black 2000 GT convertible. When people got close to the car, and saw the stripes, they said "Nice looking stripes." The truth was, the stripes were virtually "invisible" unless you were close to the car and "looking." Even I forgot about them after a while :-)
