How do I explain what this photoshoot represents? To some – maybe you – it’s just two red cars, fairly old ones, on what could be the TopGear track. To others – again, maybe you – it’s an image so full of potency, testosterone, glamour and power that you’ve taken your copy straight to the lavatory for a bit of privacy and you are most emphatically not going to be reading the words, just looking at the pictures. It’s a knotty one.
