Default slim sheady and rod are now officially famous

i have just read this months edition of top gear, issue 181

this quote is from page 118 by bill thomas:
in the dim and distant past, i worked for max power magazine. back then - like top gear now - it was the biggest selling car magazine in the country, and i met a lot of car loving purist freaks who loved the mag and having their cars featured in it. many of them worshipped rs fords and tuned the bejesus out of them.
the monster tuned rs cossies that burned their way brightest into my head were fettled by a magician called mark shead. his company, ma developments (mad for short) built its success fixing turbo cossies botched by dodgy tuners, of which there were many - essentially, bringing the power up to the claims made by charlatans.
i drove a mad car similar to rod tarry's sapphire (google rod tarry cosworth) and it frightened me so much i nearly did a plop plop in my pants there and then: 970 bhp? 0-100 in 6.86 secs? zahh! a veyron is 5.5 and little else gets close. all from 2150cc. ah, boost, glorious boost



and i had to at this
