Received in an e-mail from an English friend.
This is a "MUST WATCH" if you are any type of gear-head!!
This MASSIVE old race car has a 1700+ cubic inch engine
with only FOUR cylinders!! That's over 425 cubic inches per
cylinder!! Good GRIEF, and I thought the Allison V-12 with the
1400+ cubic inch airplane engine was big!! What a sound this
huge beast makes as it fires directly out the side of the block
(no exhaust system whatsoever!) and there's several videos and
links to watch as this old "Beast of Turin" is brought back to life
after 100+ years!

WOW! what a car! My current every day car is a modern day 'Toyota' 1.6 MR 2 with a 150 MPH speedometer I never did over 70. However it goes to show how things progress in the right direction. In imagine Wifey asking you to run down to Fry's in this brute of a 'machine' for a gallon of mail @$ 1.99. With gas at $3.00 a gallon your milk would have cost you in excess of $ 20.00 bucks, plus $ 50 bucks for a Mexican tow truck ( that's two Mexicans, one pick up truck and a tow rope ) PS I have a wonderful old Ford that I would like to sell.
