mother than that it was lovely and great power and viz !
I recall that you were excited to be one of the early adopters of the 505, sounds like the expectation didn't match the experience.
I wonder if the 206/505 will be like the Honda NSX...the new one is superior in almost every way but now good late originals are appreciating while early new ones are worth less money.
