Not many people know that

Lancs. There was snow on the ground and the speed looked quite awesome, having seen the V16 in period many times I was very impressed by the video, but then Stirling was beyond mortal. Never being 'in to' rallying, I consider their skill equal to any circuit racer, and having had a couple of passenger rides with some pretty big names on Media days, I know I would not care to try it myself.

I ached for days afterwards.
