    IIRC Vyvyan put a Merlin in his Ford Anglia.

    Can't find any reference to it though?
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      I'd feel safer if the tyres were about three times as wide.

          It has disc brakes. And power steering.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Oh that's alright then.

            Shame they left out the supercharger though.

              I suppose that would be one way to leave the planet

                I'm sure he would have embraced both innovations given the opportunity.

                    Like the 911 turbo. No matter how good / safe they make it, when you get it wrong you're f*cked. It's the only car I've owned where owners club recomended you put a sack ot spuds in the front....
