[s-cars] Sweet motor sounds

[Ulrich L. McKenzie]

Hey Hap,

Do you remember the yahoo that put a Sherman tank engine (RR Griffon?) in a
car and claimed it was a Merlin?  I heard someone even crazier built a car
with a real Merlin and challenged him to a race, though I understand it
never materialised.  I wonder what that would have sounded like?

If you include winged things, then nothing IMHO beats the sound of any RR 12
Cyl. Aero engine except more of them:^)

Len
looking forward to the Hamilton Air show in the GWN (Great White North)

Hap,

Were talking about cars that don't fly. :)
