    The Buggatti.................W16..............1000BHP. ............capable of around 400 Kmh and looks not unlike an Audi....................some machine

    Talking

    Yes indeedy do. Impressive motorcar. Don't seem to keen on the Swiss mentality, do they? Or at least not the big fellow. W16, like to look at the engineering in that.

    Like to rip any one of their heads off and take his job.
    Figuratively, of course.

    Shorty.

    Now that is a car - magnificant.

    The Cessna 182 is not a bad piece of kit for what they are designed for either.

    Go you halves in it, is about the best I can do Richard.

    You're right Garry, especially the 182R with retractable gear. Significantly faster and cleaner handling, very nice aircraft.

    Shorty.

    Just worked out the fuel consumption: Clarkson said at top speed (420kph) it uses the 100L tank in 12 minutes

    So thats 84km in 12 minutes using 100L of fuel.

    This works out at 1.19L/km or 119L/100km
