    would have liked to hear more of that beautiful motor and less of the annoying music.

    otherwise - what a kick in the patootie - my two favorite (mechanical) things - airplanes and cl***ic vehicles - combined.

    Holy ****ola! I wonder what the car would do on the salt flats. I bet if Santa had that he'd be done in a half hour. :D

    Wow!

    What unvarnished madness! Given the cost of an eight litre Bentley ch***is, I can't see anyone building anything but a Bentley Eight upon it!
    I'll bet the ''tree-huggers'' would to see the builders face on a milk carton, now.

    At my age, woodies are a rare occasion. This definitely works! Don't need that Viagara any longer...

    I just want to drive it once.....well maybe twice........how bout three times...four would be bad either...course five is a much better number...however 6 is a much more balanced number...then again seven is my lucky number..yeah, seven might do it for me just seven times to drive it would be good on second thought double up seven and have a go fourteen times....this is not going to end is it?..................................................

  19. WAY cool, but it ranks right there with the Merlin engined 57 Chevy. Who'd EVER push it anywhere near as fast as it would go? 70 years ago, they would have...

    Seeing this was like getting a Christmas present. Glad this form of madness is still out there.
    The gent from the Telegraph kept going on about how difficult it was to drive. Yes, it is an old ch***is with hard springs and the weight of a PT boat engine makes steering a lot tougher. HTFU or you don't get a rematch.
