.....................you can never follow yourself, so today, for the sunday "junk ride" my buddies followed me (no, tried to) to the lake for breakfast (no, no bacon, sausages, beans, toast, eggs etc: yes, they call THAT breakfast) and what made them smile was my new muffler/flame thrower and evidently under certain loads and downhill (above the speed limit of course) i still get the free show for only the chaps near me gearbox ------ BUT whatching their smiles made me even smile more so!!! sandy, not green nor vegan!

My former Turbo Esprit was once reported to produce little flame-bursts with the pops whilst coasting downhill on a shady lane.

Flaming exhausts are not recommended, especially on plastic cars with the fuel tank in the boot.
Flaming Lambos are not, it seems, unknown, there are several on youtube.
