Key Facts:

They are all due to have their final flights this year arent they? before being retired & replacement isnt out for a good few years.
Would've thought they'd have cleaned it first :disappointed:
What... a... machine!
Id kill for a go in it, despite the poor 0-60 lol
It's like we took a step up the ladder but chickened out.
Good way to sell a car that is quicker 0-60 than 7.9
"Hey, my car will outperform the Discovery spaceship 0-60"
I still think the Top Gear Reliant version was better! ;D
