2. The Noble M12 GTO-3R uses a Ford Maverick block, not, as is commonly thought, the Mondeo block. It's stronger apparently.

4. The lotus Elan was made the wrong size, the engineers forgot to account for the bakelite/plastic exterior expanding during manufacture.

As a result all Elans are aprroximately .8" longer and about .3" wider than as designed

Also: 182 is gayer than a Williams. In fact Clio 2's is so feminine, it has been proven to make male drivers wrists severely limp.

Dog poo only turns white when renault build it

Dog poo used to be white back in the eightis due to the high calcium supplements put into the food back then. They don't do it any more, hence no more white dog eggs.
