It sounded absolutely epic on the Hill! 8-) Sorry, I ended up with 1765 photos over two days at the FoS, it may take a while to knock them into a thread :oops:

There were a couple or three other rotangs there, too 8-) I never thought I'd actually get to see the RX500. Had a Matchbox toy of it since I was a kid, and now I've seen (and fondled, lol) the real thing I can die a happy man. Shame that the 767B was broken (becos rotary) so we didn't get to hear it in all its glory. Mad Mike's 4-rotor Madbull FD was there too but I haven't got to the photos of that yet

The 767B broke at Le Mans a couple of weeks ago too, but they did manage to put a new engine in, It did sound amazing.

Have to admit I was at GroupB Motorsport when they brought this off the trailer and my chest was vibrating from the noise of the throaty exhaust reverberating like *ell and it is absolutely AWESOME indeed h[b[

Yeah, quite some noise it makes! I think it now has a TWR/Win Percy-style across-bumper extra silencer. And presumably is still too loud :lol:
