The reveal works out to be 1am on Thursday 15th here in the UK..............and I'm not going to miss it! So, I'm booking a couple of day's leave as I'm at the Goodwood Revival on the Friday.......although I'd much rather be in Detroit for the reveal!

Gee September 14th. Same date as the new season of The Handmaids Tale. I wonder which one I’ll watch!

 

[JWS]

Maybe you could make your way to The Longhorn for a Chocolate Stampede!

And maybe talk them into throwing the YouTube or Facebook Reveal up on the Big Screen!

In my experience, work has always gotten in the way of good things, whereas I had plenty of time to waste on crap.

Wonder if this “S7AMPEDE” will have a camo covered S650 leading the way like a pace car.
