Off topic here, but i watched ACA last night, and found it pretty ammusing that Tom phillips has quit the top job before the car even launched. I noticed he also lamented about the price of fuel.

Sounds like the new magna might be a greedy pig.

I believe MMAL employees were told he was resigning due to health problems.

And additionally, the FPV range - didn't motor catch them out and about with twin exhaust test mules.

New FPV= New Stripes, new paint, twin exhausted, same cornering speeds....

I read somewhere that they want the BF to be distinctively different (in appearance) to the BA, so it should be interesting. Just have to wait and see, unless anyone here has some spy pics ;)
