103cc V8....for the coffee table or kart?

I love this sort of thing.

I once watched a show on TV with Jermey Clarkson from Top Gear, he was interviewing this french guy who built a fully working 1/3 scale replica of a 1970s Ferarri Le Mans car, with V12 engine, gearbox, clutch, brakes all working, everything, you could start the engine and the sound was incredible - took him 15 years to build from scratch in his spare time - thats a lot of comitment.

I remember that....almost put a lump in my throat. One of the best sounds ever.

Thought so, it was a flat 12!
Nearly the best engine sound ever!

Unlike most "models" at least it still has that remarkable unbeatable (IMHO)V8 noise. Can't comment on the F 12 as real networks can't display. I seem to remember it was erring a bit to the "model" sound. It is an unbelievable creation though,I have troble with Tamiya kits let alone making every damn piece.

V8's, pah, fooey, the best engine noise comes from the BRM V16
BRM v16
This sounds like samples taken from the CD that came with the book "Into the Red". Sounds amazing on a Naim system with the volume up high!

Yeah for the three minutes its running
