    Don't forget the fishy cars!

    But not the Barracuda. Forget the Manta, Marlin or Mako. Prepare yourselves to be hooked by the seductive name of this 11hp one cylinder 2-stroke marvel

    I think one of my favourite ways to name cars is the way ferrari does it... names like 250 GTO just sound so cool... and there's a logic to the numbers aswell (at least most of them ) Like if ferrari announces they gonna build a 612 you know what sort of car they're talking about. (bad example) Also cars can have additional names aswell. But I like numbers that make sense.

    Car can't drive itself, and I can't drive so that's outside the question. I think you know the only thing left. Unless you decide that I could LEARN driving in there

    Don't get you there....R...confused

    Sorry man, British humour.

    The Matra's are both currenty languishing in BITS awaiting critical parts ( and time ) to complete their rebuild. it is often estimated that 95% of all Matras areound the world are parked up in bits in garages

    cayenne is also a red pepper, pretty hot, and is found in alot of places, not just france (being UCP's chef does come in handy once in a while )

    but when mercedes does it, they don't always follow the engine specs, I heard somewhere that cars like the E55 and any AMG cars that are supposed to be 5.5 L are actually 5.4 L engines.
