Jim glad to see you back!
Your car is getting tons of press..I saw a bit on it in Top Gear Magazine the other week.
Thanks for sharing the links and don't be a stranger

The Historic Targa Florio was amazing!

Ran into some bad weather along the way from what I've been reading? How was the P4/5 in the rain and so forth?

Still really can't spot any huge differences from what I had seen at the unveiling. Nothing was too drastic I take it.

Just as I finish reading it on that other site... Great to see that video in English, if I'm not mistaken that one was in French(?) before. I would turn up my volume incredibly high and try to make out what you were saying. haha

Jim thanks for the vid..a simply stunning car..
One question when they show you starting it in the garage and you see that smoke coming from the two holes under the rear..what is that? is that a second set of exhaust?

Below 3K rpm exhaust comes out the bottom so you don't cook people standing behind the car. Above 3K shunts to the top pipes.

Best

Was the exhaust reworked before Targa Florio? If it was then I need to start looking for some more pictures...
