Hi dave!
Nope, no tickets yet, but it's really really hard to drive it slowly. It has 4-speed tranny and 1:st gear is good for 110 km/h. It feels like sitting on a steam-engine. Yes, turbo lag is that bad....it's a old-school solution with huge KKK-turbocharger, external wastegate (it vents exhaust-gases just before turbo-intake) and no BOW at all, all connected to Bosch old-style K-Jetronic injection. Really hard to drive it smoothly, especially in the twisties when it suddenly comes on-boost in the middle of the bend and sends you spinning in the weeds. Worse even, my wastegate is malfunctioning so i get overboost switch cutting-in sometimes. I'll fix it soon.
It's a completly different story on a motorway...you put it into third, press the throttle, wait for a second and bye bye evertyhing this side of Diablo...
Cheers.
