The Beast of Turin



If ever I saw a car ideally suited to commuting through Nottingham then this is it.

That is truly beautiful. What's the safe distance for cyclists? Gouts of flame, and an open chain drive threatening their lycra bulges.

I spent five years commuting from Chichester and used to dread the annual Goodwood "Festival of Speed". Festival of boiling-over old crocks pulled over and blocking the traffic, normally with a fat red-faced man shouting into a mobile phone while his bored wife sat staring into space pretending she was somewhere else.

Gorgeous car, and as you say, perfect for a stop-start journey!

The last time I went to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed, one of the French car companies 'programmed' a racing car to play The Marseillaise. The result was two almost burst eardrums, so that was fun...

I liked my old Standard 10.

Sam - If we lived nearer it sounds like the kind of thing I'd go and watch.

Scrobs - as a tribute to modern France maybe M Macron could arrange a version of the The Marseillaise played by water cannon.

Demetrius - but could it emit great spurts of flame?

Wiggia - yes a few green heads must have burst along the way.
