At least the base car was a 190, so the bigger brakes should be more than adequate to stop it after you flick the wrong toggle switch

Now that's one motor that would kick the beep out of Dave lincs cars any day then again my probe would do just as good.

Hmm 500 BHP? I think not, the Artouste was basically an APU for providing starting air for larger jet engines.

Interesting nonetheless

Interesting MOT history.
Minor leak of exhaust gases. Pretty major when that puppy spins up.
Jet engine obscuring components. Never thought I'd read that.
