7.3 V12 in old shape SL = WIN.
 
I love how so many years ago they had a 7.3 engine...that's massive even by today's standards... whats the biggest they have now, 6.5?

Also, isn't that the Zonda engine?

Now, that is awesome. Not only was that my favorite year ever for both the BTCC and DTM, but I've never seen the Louis Krages/John Winter crash from that angle before.

1. Ford could have released a cardboard box filled with poo and put their name on it and the british people would still have bought it in hundreds of thousands.
2. What kind of whitchcraft gearbox is in that 900?
3. Look a diesel engine in a BMW. Americans must think "how novel" :lol:

That model Ford Escort is actually my least favorite car ever. Apart from the Cosworth, obviously.
Quentin Wilson is actually more boring than I remember him being. Which I didn't think was possible, but I do like that Citroen on grounds of sheer quirkyness.
The Jezzafro is almost as epic as his blue blazer. You could see that from space!
The Alpine crash wasn't in TG, it was in a Clarkson dvd and the man himself admitted somewhere that it was still a great car but he used it becuase it was the cheapest supercar he could find. A low point and a great shame.
 
The Cizeta is really awesome! I've always wondered how is the reliability of the V16 engine. But since there were less than 15 cars ever made...I guess we'll never know.
