    Why we love cars.

    Just in case you've not seen this on pistonheads.

    Not a volvo, but the sound it makes is fantastic

    To be honest when i first watched it i'd didn't really think about anything because it was an ex mclaren f1 racer thats been converted back to road use being given some stick and the sound was glorious.

    But then you think about it and you realise this is a car with over 600bhp that weighs about 1000kgs and he's giving it a lot of throttle in 2nd, 3rd and 4th on public (country) roads and you realise it probably wasn't the best idea.

    There was quite a difference of opinions on pistonheads towards the video and in the end even the thread itself was closed.

    Now, i like to see special cars being "driven", but even i thought it was a bit much when i actually thought about it.

    It did sound bloody awsome though.

    He was being a saint compared to the driver in the pistonheads vid, that was removed.
