make every effort to match the benefits (as opposed to features) of a particular product choice to these needs.

If, in his opinion, the buyer is serious. It's hardly absurd to expect to be qualified or for the seller to not want to waste time? I really
don't understand your hostility to the concept.

then I will be a spectator armed with my camera and I will gladly give anyone a tenner for a go round the track 
Is your car the yellow MNR racer? Looked well. Come and say hello at Oulton next month.
ETA, just remembered this footage. I had to back off to keep the STI (305bhp) with me. I think you'll enjoy the blade engine as a starter.

My Caterham 7 busa (1396cc Mistral tuned) did a 12.0006 QTR at 117.2mph. I also have a Caterham fireblade (918cc), by comparison that feels dead slow!

Now there's a surprise, you'd never imagine the best part of twice the power would feel lots quicker
