Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
5 years ago i was on a job and they had this ford diesel for a work truck. We took it for lunch and i swear i have never seen a diesel peel rubber until that day. I was so fast i was really shocked. If that picture is to be believed that's an 8 cylinder diesel engine. If it is there's no telling what that thing will do.I'm looking forward to it.

No, I don't hate diesels. I rented two different diesel saloons in the UK in the past three weeks. Skodas with VW 1.9 TDI engines. Great beater rentals. I even asked specifically for the diesels, since I was paying for the fuel. Just not very engaging to drive.
