I won’t bore you with the details since there are thousands of articles about this car. Seeing this car in person really is a different story all together then what you see in the magazines. It is a big car and takes up a lot of real estate on the road. On more narrow roads you almost have to pull off onto the grass to let other cars pass through. [Read More...]
