- Hey! I had a Daimler Double-Six, I know just how fu**ing HUGE the Jag V12
- engine is! You'd never get your legs around the bastard! You'd have to let
- them rest on top or summat. The engine must weigh more than a Kwak13 for a
- start. (You can get twin supercharger kits for them and very high race tuning
- preparations also!) Stock is 295BHP.......! Also 14MPG! (in a 2-ton car).
-
- I wish you luck and non-oval wheels!
