You know there were recently rover (basically a copy of a non
supercharged rr engine, destined for tanks) engines for sale, ww2

Great burnout tyre, not that I'd know.

I used to run them on the front of the torana (the 7th or 8th one, or
257th one if I was Oz) great in the dry, and actually seemed to start to
