I’ve got the old Hardcastle book; which is so ancient now it lists products long unavailable and companies long out of business...
Nice to see a new publication on our favorite engine; Amazon and EBay won’t ship to me but after the lockdown I’ll order a copy

What am I looking at on the cover? Would that be an aftermarket intake plenum breathing into T/A or Wildcat heads, with a custom stainless front exit exhaust, presumably for a TVR? Please sir, may I have that, in the Griffith depicted behind it, so as to be able to do those big donuts?
That powerplant looks as if it would immediately make mincemeat out of my gearbox. Oh, hang on, I just did that already, with a 3.5 on twin HIF6s.
 
Okay, so it was Panama, not Hamlet. Hey ho. My memory ain't what it used to be;

Jim, thanks for that! I used to work as a voice artist, the hilarious adventures of Stephen Toast ruined that gig for me! Having seen him repeatedly have to say "Yes!" I could barely keep a straight face whenever I got in the sound booth thereafter.
Oops, total thread hijack. Sorry.
