I was actually up in South Carolina, this was Frugal McDougal's liqour store near Carowinds for any locals. There were a few people who seemed to know about the car, but there were by far more asking what it was.

Funny thing was that this was a fine piece of opportunist timing.
I came up to visit a friend of mine and get some gift shopping done. Knowing what a good store this was in terms of their Scotch supply I suggested we drop in on the way back. I noticed the poster on the door as we walked in at 3:20, that the car was going to be there between 4pm and 7pm. Sure enough as we waited in the checkout line the transporter arrived. What luck!
Even better is that my friend is a HUGE fan of F1, and her favorite driver...?

KIMI!

I helped the guy to get the car out of the transporter. Well I had too, it was going to be difficult for him to do it by himself after all wasn't it?
Let's just say that my friend got a little bit of a closer look at the car than most people would...from a 'Kimi's office' point of view!
That made her day!

I just think these cars are beautiful, all the sculpting of the air control surfaces is simply fascinating to see. Just an amazing piece of technology. Also, the color scheme on this car looks so much better in the carbon than it does on TV. That chrome finish is really cool!

I got some good whisky too!
