I must have spent 2 hours looking at the views of this article sporadically throughout the day, and i must say that i found its coverage of Pebble far better than the multitude of other sites covering the same content. Well done Angus! i particularly loved the fresh shots of the vehicles -not the generic ones available everywhere else, and great comments too. really nice, and a pleaseure to view on the Gizmag scroll option.

I enjoy looking at pictures of cars but not so much bits and pieces, all of that artsy stuff would be fine if there was at least one overall shot of the whole car.
