New toy arrived

Hi guys,
I've just collected my new toy, a Morgan Aero 8 (2002) with a 4,4 litre BMW V8. Can't stop smiling.
When I drove porsche, people occasionally blocked me, giving me the 'angry' look. With this thing it's all thumbs up en getting out of my way. Sad but true.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to plan a trip to the nurburgring and its beautifull surroundings.

Take care!
ps : don't mind the dog, he's suffering a small epileptic seizure in the pic.

You may be the one with the new toy but your dog is the one having the fun.

Re: New toy arrived

Thanks guys,
Turbo : it is indeed 'Velvet green', a rolls-royce color.
Racerx: All the bodypanels & chassis are aluminium, hence the total weight of 1130kg. It's all pretty modern race car stuff underneath.

The dog still thinks he will be allowed in the
passengerseat. I hate to bring him the bad news.
