What a fucking idiot.

But then, is driving a hot Audi, so these days, perhaps a redundant statement.

The raging mum said: "Our Christmas cheese platter has been ruined by these mouldy Cheestrings.

someone's had some fun writing that!

It's not about her, it's about the children, and at this time of year too. Won't someone think of the baby cheeses.

So if you got handy with the hacksaw and welder would this sound similar to that? ^

I drove a supercharged Ariel Atom around that track - it was anything but slow motion!

No, I remember being fascinated by these and went down a rabbit hole of reading up about it. It needs to be the M297 V12 which was only in the W140 S Class and R129. The reason for that is that it’s the same engine as used in the CLK GTR and Paganis. Unfortunately cars with the M297 cost a fecking fortune now.

To make them actually sound like that you need proper equal length exhaust headers which costs another fecking fortune as there’s only a chap in Japan that makes them who is the go to source for it but I’m sure someone very skilled can replicate them here.

And as incredible as that engine sounds, in the S Class it's coupled to a 3 or 4 speed auto (I would guess), the slurred changes of which rather spoil the effect IMO

Still an amazing noise coming out of a limo though
