I see no duct tape, it must be an amateur job.

They sounded even greater before they started capping revs (2008/2009 I believe). Cosworth and a few others would occasionally touch 21,000!

Fixed.

McLaren's rear brake pedal. Allowed the driver to effectively eliminate understeer and wheelspin in any corner by retarding one of the rear wheels. Discovered inadvertently by F1 Racing photographer Darren Heath and after some protestations from the Scuderia, Ferrari International Assistance banned the device.

From what looks like an engineering textbook.

It looks like his steering input helped right the truck. Besides, letting Jesus take the wheel is a shit technique - never stop driving the vehicle.

Everytime I hear the word "proctologist," this is the scene I think of.

In my particular line of work, I seldom need more than this.

I wanna gouge my ears out every time. I feel so dirty just looking it up.

I owned a 164S...it was great. I very nearly bought another one recently, but common sense told me to buy my Mazdaspeed Protege instead. It has now been in the shop 2 and a half months. Prolly would have been better off with the Alfa.
