Test report a 147 GTA
Yesterday I had the opportunity to test drive a 147 GTA. The smile is still on my face: what a great car! A test report can be seen on my site.

You can see a videoclip if you want. Just right click here and save target as.
The format of the clip is for Windows Media Player only and the size of the file is 2.5 Mb
If you are interested in the whole videoclip just let me know and I will take it to the 147 Meeting on April 26.

<strong>Hans, you bet I'm interested! Thanks in advanced my Friend.
I can only imagine your big smile stamped in your face!  I'm sure I would look the same if I had the chance of test on
So, when are you going to buy the GTA? wink </strong><hr /></blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Have you seen the little video clip?
I will make a CD Rom for you and take it to the meeting.
I certainly want the GTA but my current bella is a bit too young. I am considering a swap when my bella is three years old.

I've just downloaded the little video, put the sound of my 4.1 system higher and... man! It was like the GTA was here!!!! eek! That sound is... unbelievable!!! I would be with a big grin for a all year!! It's impossible not to push for it, isn't it Hans?
Hans, your the man! Uau!!!
That's a good idea, let your Bella get a bit older before swap it. wink

Surely its better to sell your bella when its worth more... then the GTA becomes more affordable!
.... after all.... all your money will be going towards petrol!

But during my test drive I was hardly cruising

In fact they don't know when my birthday is. They were just willing to cooperate for a test report for my site.

You're correct, it is indeed the road to Lage Vuursche.
And the end of the clip is filmed at the 'tankbaan' near Soest. Great curves and good overview to spot any police vehicles
