Well the drive to work this morning was interesting. Who needs a stereo with a soundtrack like that?

Managed to really upset a new Civic Type R as well which was highly amusing.

I can't believe the amount of grip the R888's give in the dry. A couple of roundabouts I went brave, broke late, turned in, expected some drama ........... and ............. nothing. Went straight round like it was on rails.

No way mate, the Rado is comfortable, fun, practicle and I adore it. Besides my daily comute is a 45 mile round trip. The MKII will certainly be used for it occasionally but not all the time for sure. Also I somethimes have to travel for work or take Mrs Horney away and track car really isn't ideal for any of that.
