Big engine.......low horsepower

You have to love these little phrases our rugby commentators use. 'Big engine' is the delightfully 1960s phrase used to describe an energetic player. So out of date though.....the Stradale, a 4 litre hybrid Ferrari scheduled next year, will be producing 980 hp. What our commentators are reaching for is a lumbering 7 litre push rod engine with loud mufflers, that produced about 500 hp at best. Big, inefficient, low tech......but very obvious. Yep a pretty good description.

Mike provides huge amounts of humour......unintentionally...like 'selection threads'.
