The exhaust is the most epic part, and that's no small thing.  [thumbsup]

The pics from back in the day show a 2-1 header, but I think it's way cooler the way they had it in the video.

My neighbors fiat is the same size as that engine.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

"Two examples of the S76 were built, and this car is likely to have scavenged the last remaining parts of both; the giant engine built for the second S76 off the line towers over the frame built for the first. At the end of a ten-year restoration effort, Owner Duncan Pittaway doubtless knows every inch of this incredible machine. Still, it's a fearsome thing, and it's a brave, brave man that leans on that crank handle bringing the Beast of Turin back to life after 100 years of quiet."

" The driver, Pietro Bordino, spurned the idea of putting the car on a trailer and drove it from Brooklands to Saltburn on the public highway â€" a 300 hp racing car with stub exhausts belching several feet of flame at passers-by."
That was the image in my head after seeing the video!  [evil]
