Haven't yet heard or seen anything of last weekend's proposed start-up of John Owen's new V16.

I do hope history isn't repeating itself, as it's apt to, of course.

There is no other engine that sounds like this...turn the speakers up - *warning* - this WILL make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end!

AWESOME sound track!

And the vid itself was pretty darn good too, just MUCH too short.

Gosh! It's reported today that the original body buck for the V16 has been found. A truly remarkable story worth looking up.

And even the last 12 weeks, eh, Kevan? The old enemy, Time! And who knows where we'll be in another 12 months?

Anyone know if this recreation project has made progress and been concluded, please? Running behind, I hope. Always good to maintain tradition.
