	“	Good to see you, mate! I'm glad to see you out here today. An opportunity's come up, and I knew you were the one for the job. Does the name HENNESSEY VENOM GT mean anything to you? That's what I thought! Well, I've got my hands on one, and just in time too. The Cloudmusiq World Records are being judged over the coming week. I've always wanted to fill the book, but never could myself... If a whippersnapper like you's willing to listen to my experience, we should have no trouble with the Records. And if you can fulfil the dream - filling the book - then the VENOM GT is yours for the keeping. So let's get started!	”
