Hi guys,

I shot this photo last week at the Wings and Wheels show at the Top Gear 
test track in England.   It's on the dashboard of the Packard-Bentley "Mavis" 
special.   This monster car uses a pre-war 8-liter Bentley chassis, and it's 
powered by a 42-liter (!!!!!) V-12 engine from a WWII US Navy PT 
boat--awesome!

Here's a link showing it at startup; it has two exhaust pipes per cylinder. 
  They run it full rich at startup, which is quite spectacular:
