I think it was 2 x V12 diesels with quad turbo’s. 

It was known as “Sled dog” but I think “Greta’s Nightnare” would have been more appropriate. 

Did well in its day. 

Mad buggers !

quite. I really like them. Once, during a manic and frankly insane 72 hour rebuild of one of my stags in a dealer wanker's garage, at one point in my sleep deprived state i seriously contemplated taking his race prepped xjs (with 5 speed getrag box) because he owed me big time. But that's another story.

Ahhh that brief moment of panic and realisation on a runaway!

I've only been around a handful of runaway's and always had a clean rag to hand to quickly strangle them; It'll wake you up in the morning no matter how big of an engine it is!

Epic. All the better for it being a single car lapping.

I've been at Brands mid-week when it's been a test session, and there has only been 1 car or bike lapping. You hear all the little noises the vehicle is making.

Scotty Mac was dominating the Indycar weekend at the sketchy Nashville street circuit, took pole, and ran up front till an unfortunately timed yellow and a slow stop dropped him to 15th for the restart with 18 or so to go....

This was awe-inspiring

Not much noise and no turbo. Showing what a stock engined 1.6 mark 1 MX5 with some suspension mods can do in the hands of a decent driver.

One of the young lads out here’s budget build….

300ZX with twin turbo’s feeding a supercharger on a 350 Chev V8, tubbed rear, 9” diff etc etc. I think it’s his first car.
