What is it like to drive a Zero?

I was discussing with someone/somewhere what it's like to drive the Zero.

On one hand its just a car, an open top car, very/too low and impractical by any measure of a transport mechanism in the 21st century.

On the other - It makes me feel like this....

The 'Maxell Man' from 80s telly - the concept of being overwhelmed by the power of moving air/music. I get it now, for me its just more fun to get this 'hold on and enjoy' experience when the seat is moving!

The more sweeping curves in the road - the singular focus on the machine, its feedback through the wheel, pedals and seat - the more enjoyment.

The freedom, the simple freedom to look in any direction and view unconstrained by a roof or fixed framing of the windscreen, as well as the freedom to take any route which happens to look more interesting at that particular moment.

Just a thought.
