Holy crap, Shoebag! Please post some interior pics. So, what's it like to drive? Was it hard to control in the rain? How loud is it inside?

Thanks. It is really loud inside but you get used to the noise. Driving it is quite easy although I was a bit scared in the wet after Christian said don`t put your foot down when going round bends to join motorways. I guess that is common sense really but the thought of 806 bhp and rear wheel drive is still quite frightening. More so now after I lost control of my beloved Viper in November and smashed into a tree and that only has 500bhp!
The only negatives is the turning circle which is terrible and I have difficulty getting it into reverse - you need a strong left arm and the gear stick is quite high.

I am very happy to own the K`Egg and have a lot of respect for it. As far as I am aware I am the first girl owner of a Koenigsegg which would have put a smile on my Dad`s face as it`s his fault that I have a passion for cars.
