Boom cars (ot for sure...)

we fired up an old Rover (Buick) V8 a while ago on someone's driveway with
no exhaust manifolds on it - that really was pretty darn loud. Windows
rattled, and the people 4 doors down the street though a plane was crashing
on their heads :-)

the flames are pretty good, nice blue / orange jets out of the ports in the
heads. Cooked the engine bay pretty well though...
