I understand all that except the "9.5:1" part.

I should have known that. :o Makes sense now. Thanks. I suppose that means he'll be buying the 92 octane gas?

Nice shots, thanks Frank!

Thanks everyone.

Sorry Marie, but you're not even close, but I think the name was right the 1st time with the "h".
No one else wants to take a shot at it?
Hint: It was internationally famous for a race through Mexico.

Hmmm ... that Rambler sure looks like a Vauxhall, but most likely the acceleration is quite different :lol:
And hey, it's still more beautiful than the Gremlin next to it :wink:

Best regards,

Shortie: Yes, fluffy dice are EVERYWHERE! :D

OK, last Hint: Looks a bit like a '54 Ford, doesn't it? ;)

Thank's Roger. It would be an interesting chase sequence 'till the brakes started to fade... or they both had to stop for gas! ;-)a
