    I had to mirror the image for it to look natural for me.... Anyway, I like the interior. The gear shift looks just like the one I made with an aluminum rod and a golf ball for my racin sim :p.
    But do you see anything over the dash when you are out cruising? The seat seems awfully low and leant back...

    It fit me like a glove. I'm 191cm so the ceiling is quite close... The car is very low.

    Vital info you say, hmm...

    Engine: 4475cc alloy V8 engine
    Max Power: 420 bhp @ 6750 rpm
    Max torque: 380 ft.lbs @ 5500 rpm
    Weight: 1100kg / 2425lbs
    0 to 60 mph: 3.9 secs
    0 to 100 mph: 8.3 secs
    0 to 150 mph: 17.9 secs
    Maximum: 195 mph

    I noticed you can't drive legally in fifth gear and you can apparently do a fair bit over 120 in third... :D

    As for mods it won't be much, might get a new stereo with a HDD for MP3s and some counter measurement to not loose the license (Gatso detector and laser blocker :naughty: )

    my car refuses to do 60mph comforably in 5th... 75-80mph is the easiest cruising speed in my car :D

    Careful with the blockers they are actually "very" illegal.

    On a side note, from the air those cars with radar jamming equipment are detectable for miles, and the RAF has to reduce the sensitivity of it's air to ground defences when practicing on UK ranges... there's a thought.

    On the motorway mine settles quite nice at around 80mph in 5th just over 3000rpm.

    Mind you it does come alive above 3500rpm. :D

    Laser blockers are not legal but so far no one has lost a court battle over using them...

    I'm not talking about radar jammers btw, only radar detectors.

    Laser jammers are illegal, and there has been a recent court case in which a guy in Wales was prosecuted for using one. However, he did sort of take the p*ss by leaving the jammer switched on while he flew through 2 or 3 laser traps.

    In order to stay inconspicious you must switch the jammer off as soon as it blocks the first reading, and then slow down. If the 5-0 see that their laser gun has given 3 duff readings on the trot they will suspect something.

    I use the Snooper S6-R Neo radar/laser and GPS camera detector which is probably about as good as you're going to get legally, although even then the radar and laser detectors are very susceptible to false readings. Laser detectors are only really any good for detecting 'scatter' ie. if the rozz targets a car in front, the detector senses laser scatter bouncing off it. If you are targeted directly by a laser than it's already too late and you're looking at a ticket.

    [edit] Nice motor, btw ! Hope you live near a TVR dealer I hear they're a bit tough to push ! ;)
