If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Mark,
Chop us one of those cats off will you? If you siamese the exhaust you'll only need one. 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Might require a small change to the chassis, but go for it!
What is it, by the way?

4.2 V8 Audi S4 engine and 6 speed Quattro gearbox. Chipped to 425BHP, done 1500 miles before the driver launched it from the road, did £22,000 of
damage, but its worth £38,000 so I am reshelling it!

Just out of curiosity how much does it weigh?
When you're lying in the midst of the Afghan plains and the women come out to cut up the remains; just roll to your rifle and blow out your
brains and go to your god like a soldier.

It weighs about the same as a pinto cylinder head, 2 of us put it on the trolley.
It is so complex though, its got more computers than a space shuttle, there is even one to control the variable inlet manifold. It alters the length
to adjust the torque/BHP ratio

But did it look as good as this baby? 8 separate coils, revolving inlet tract, all ally construction - I had to have a lay down!
