Beastly preparations

True to my usual form of generally avoiding all things mechanical, after purchasing the Beast I left all the boring servicing and car preparations to Nick - I instead ensured it at least got a wash (not something Nick is noted for doing to his cars) and giving it a bit of a run in. It was found to be very interesting when cornering even moderately hard as it rolled more than a ferry in a storm. That, combined with the slippery leather seats meant you slid from one side of the car to the other whilst gamely hanging on to the huge steering wheel.
