They can't arbitrarily ban the rumble of the V8, the buzzsaw whine of the straight 6

Does self-loathing not kick in as one addresses the second pastry-clad item, though? :-(

The self-loathing will be easily defeated by the lure of the dripping grease.

Upon which subject I confess to having just eaten 6 rashers of bacon with bread fried in the grease thereof. :-(

Of course when the IC engine first came along blokes started blubbing about steam.

I owned an aeroplane with a 9 cylinder radial. Now that was quite an engine. 10 litres, supercharged, 420 bhp :cloud9:

Now straight back on the power up Hailwood until Druids is approaching far, far too quickly...

A track day with an instructor will settle these voyeuristic tendencies, a.

:thumbup: Sounds good. I've noticed that the single-seaters with wings don't need to use all the curb at the bottom of Paddock Hill with their extra grip. You should buy yourself an old Formula Ford, there are thousands of them knocking about.

My little Caterham suits me perfectly, to be fair. It's never going to go fast enough to be really scary, and at the end of the day I can drive it home.

They call it fried slice these days to try and distract the user from the fact that they are actually eating fried bread.

The last two times I went to Brands for the historics (they call it the Super Prix, I think) there was a row of Sevens parked outside the Kentagon, including the odd old Lotus, and usually one in the McGoohan livery.
