Jusr watched latest episode of this and Sam Lovegrove referred to the Javelin as air cooled and underpowered!! Shouldn't someone contact the producers and offer him a drive in one to put him straight??

Re: Shed and Buried
Would not waste the petrol! All cars are air cooled, just some transfer the heat using oil, others use water and oil.
Underpowered of course is purely relative, and the comparison should be based on year of manufacture and the type of car being compared.
The Javelin is a 6 seater luxury saloon with an economical 1.5 litre engne, not a 2 seater lightweight sports car with a 3 litre engine.
