I'd be really keen to hear what you think about the Kwak after an SV. I'm toying with getting one too. I know they're quick I just wonder if it's going to be a bit uncomfortable and "focused" i.e. you find you do 140 mph everywhere.
Still if I get a bigger garage I can just have one of each

That's the point. My digital camera is a point and click, and it annoys me not having any control over the aperture and shutter speed. The photos all look like (well framed, obviously) pants because I don't get to choose my own depth of field.

I'd just bull**** and say i only have x ammount of money for this, so i won't be able to buy it, if they are in a good mood they will offer you it at that price. The way i'd try it anyway.

What's the quote?

"Once you've had Kwak, you won't go back?"
