A few of you at inters know I have one of these and like them a lot

If you want to hear one that sounds sweet and very close to mine

Oh and triple twin 45's do make a lovely sound

Download this one http://www.pillezone.de/divers/Longo.wmv and turn up the volume while you are listening.

That, has made my day :D

Sounds awesome, isn't noise it's music 8)

Think that might have to go on the list of favourite engines along with the Impreza flat-four and BRM V16.

What about the currently notorious Vectra GSi 3.0? (that'll probably have us all under a 55mph national limit within a week)

ah, downloaded............. thats nice :D looks like a beast, too, see it straining at the securing straps and them backing off...

there must be some computer chip you can get plugs into your ECU and your stereo to make such sounds inside your cabin when you plant it... :)

dem kerayzee germans

ps anyone know which thread the gumball M20 link was hidden in? want to get that onto my hard disc rather than just the screen where i watched it before. if only for the comedy of the guy saying "a hundred and eighty miles an hour!" considering the recent furore (hey, if a policeman can't test his patrol car at 3am on the bloody M54 - which is dead in the midafternoon never mind the deep of night, it's hardly the M6 - how can get the experience to handle it properly at such speeds if called upon to travel at them?), and the hidden message of how fast too fast is... when you can't any longer focus on the junction sign boards zipping past.
