Is that Jay Kay's?
He pulled up beside me sometime ago as I was in the middle lane of the M40 and said I've got one of those pointing at my 911 before disappearing down the road.
I recognised him and was telling Mike about it. I thought as it was green it was a Pagani or some other exotic but Mike suggested it might a a Ferrari which indeed it was.

Worried that I might not get my phone back. We left seconds later

my non-Porsche picture of the day

Post by 23e Heure »

My parents loaned their MG YA to a local couple as their wedding car yesterday.

They live in Brittany, the groom is a camionneur.

This offered a not oft seen photo opportunity for a Y type!

Other than being a V8 I was stumped.
But I must admit to having googled it… guess it has a very narrow powerband hence the cvt makes the most of it?
Still makes the complexity of your Lola install look like child’s play! :)

The man who engineered it is 75 and it is a v8 two stroke from a race boat.
Big thread on a hillclimb forum of the engine install.
I think simple is best!

It was really nice.
Love the narrow body design, so much nicer than all the bulges imho.
