Nice little slide show, interesting to see lawyers poking their noses in with LexisNexis.

As the commentary says ' shows what can be achieved with enough effort, resources and application'  that about sums it up for me.

I was driving around East coast USA in early 90's on luxury barges, they were really awful, and made me appreicate why I should never complain about having a Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 GS back home, which was more luxurious (certainly underpowered), but when I tried pushing the envelope in a USA barge, ie. doing more than 65mph, I felt like I was about to lose my life on any bend on the Interstates, where as the Vaux GS would feel stable at 110mph (where it ran out of oomph).
