Yes, so if you dont know all the facts, how can u assure me that what i see on TV, even though it had a Spitfire V12 or summit wasn't the same car? Same engine, same body, same interior, in fact, was even the same colour!!!!

So dont just presume im wrong if ur not 100% sure of the facts yourself.

I saw that on top gear its mental, although I find it funny that a 27 litire rolls engine needs six tail pipes, but thats also good for 1.2 corsas lol

The V12 (im sure) 27litre engine was taken out o a WW2 aircraft, either the Spitfire or the Hurricane.

And im not the only one to say it in this post. Nor am i the only one to say they have seen it on TV
