Yes, it stuck to the road quite well and got there pretty quick too. I no longer drive at high speeds. On recent holiday in Dorset & Devon was called "James May" and "Captain Slow" by OB friends as I was sticking religiously to the limits. I like high speed and swift acceleration but only in a controlled and safe manner. Have experienced 120+ in Mercedes and approx 130 in Alfa (both occasions as passenger).

Um yes, but how do I know it actually works?

The flame throwing exhaust does sound fun though...!

Beautiful but no MOT and I can't weld.

It's actually quite hard finding a good car for sale cheap

My brother always got his from my uncle for Â£100 and he drove them til they stopped and then had them towed to the dump

At that price he never put oil in or anything like that and one or two lasted several years

I thought flamethrowers were fitted as standard these days!!

Flamethrowers could make a trip down the M1 exremely interesting
