It was something in my memory that told me to do it but it wasnt necessary so I stop doing it. Well well, the car is a fun car, thats for sure.

Somewhat off-topic BUT, although I'm not a huge fan of the Koenigsegg, I really do appreciate it when such owners are passionate with what they do and interact with the 'regular' people and take notice. Example Mr. Pagani himself cleaning the Znda F before the 5th Gear review and Mr. Thomas coming and taking criticism regarding VM on TWoP.

Unlike other companies where you will be shown to the door or some stupid person trying to read the facts from some sheet which we already know

Great work notic, it looks great now!

Christian isn't quite like the Italians if you know what I mean!

Seems a ordinary guy, what did he think of the M6?

Just_me should save up some real cash and get an M5 or M6.
