Loves huge revs before it gets into its stride & doesn't really behave well below 80mph

Yes its local. Guy who owns it (with bus partner) is a bit of a car-fanatic, he's had all sorts of machines. The Dino is the latest 'muse' - but he also wants a '5' (he had one before). It only came from the UK recently. He drove it from east coast with foot down. Got it back to Limerick, gave it to aforementioned partner who got 10 miles down the road when a rear wheel came off!! No wounds & no damage luckily :)
