No reason to twiddle around with sissy Porsches or Ferraris. Go straight to the Mustang.

It must be fun to have toys at that level.

It is so cool that a 100% stand up man, and total car guy has toys for us to drool over.

Go Jay, GO!

Dad worked on those Packard Merlins during the war, he even worked on the P38 project to see if they would work. Did I already say that?

Top Gear (UK) featured a "Bentley-Merlin" and a BMW-Brutus. The Brutus engine is 46 liters.

DEFINITELY worth watching:

Like doing a crossword puzzle while being eaten by a tiger I love that guy

Jay pulled up to a Jaguar event I was attending in SoCal in that Bentley and was more than happy to chat to my Dad and I about it. Nice guy.

I used to own a Griffin which was the generation after the Merlin. They were used in the Mk26 Spitfires and Avro Shackletons. We bought it for 500 pounds from a RAF when they closed down the local Air Cadets chapter. The quality of the parts was astounding to a ignorant young man like myself. Each part polished and serialized. It was sold on to an American gentleman who I believe shoe-horned it into one of those warbird racers. I later went on to work for Vickers Defense where we had warehouses full of Meteor V12 Rolls Royce tank engines - a cousin of the Merlin
