Precisely, the 1M has been to me, a car which made me stop looking at performance figures and helped me realise that what 'I' want and value in a car is how it makes me feel, how much it makes me smile, in the enjoyment it brings to what, in something else, may have been a very mundane journey.
Here is a car with an LSD, rear drive only, and a clutch pedal without variation, it was never built for ultimate 0-60s or 0-100s, it's a driver's car. Yet look at these numbers.
Impressive little car indeed, I recently (for shts and giggles), test drove both a Carrera 4S and a Cayman S, and when you drive impressive cars like that and are not overly impressed, it speaks volumes of the car that you drove up in. Because I know they're incredible, yet when I got back in the 1M, I was pleased.
Hold on to them gents. She's a pearler.
