Thats probably who Jeremy Clarkson got it off
. I think i remember the 5th gear your on about, i think its the one with Rods car on where they are trying to get the Esprit to do over 200mph.
As for the earlier comment about dump valves being invented for rally cars, i find this hard to belive as they had ALS and dump valves dont work with this.
