I remember the characteristic sound of a Moggie exhaust on engine over-run......modern engines just don`t sound like that do they? ;)


Modern engines generally exhaust through something bigger than a 22mm bit of water pipe. ;D

But yes, you're right, although on the overrun stakes I'd favour something Italian breathing through a pair of DCOEs. Popping and banging with a few flames to boot when it's dark. :-*

A little tweak of the fuel map on the Westfield and I can reproduce all sorts of overrun porn. 8-) Packing in the exhaust doesn't last long though. ;D

Only one takes my fancy but it's white.

Something of interest though, look at the wheels on both side of the car, they are designed to rotate in opposite directions so they can be fitted near side and off side.  Something I wish thay had done for the Lotus carlton, but never bothered.
