Car: Suzuki Swift 1.3 2006 Rep Power: 13 | Great read. I had actually wondered who of the three was the quickest - even though Jeremy would always be the best guess considering his experience wit thrashing around powerful cars.. But really great to get some behind the scenes impressions.. Great stuff all of it. |
