Sad to think that if you totalled all the values up, its not enough to buy a striker in the modern game of football :shock:

When you take it into perspective, it makes them seem reasonably priced :D :D

Yeeaaah, but those motors are the creme de la creme Bob. I wouldnt expect anything less.


When you start talking Bugatti royale's, Merc SSK's and Dusenberg SJ (and the SSJ is even MORE expensive) youre talking Mona Lisa - like appeal.

Although we all know they are cars, they are not really passing hands as cars, they are commodities.

S'funny when you think that the Royale engine ended up being used to power a railway locomotive. :?
