Either Asseto Corsa or project cars.

The Imp was a much better car than the Mini, but it arrived too late on the scene. A high school girlfriend insisted her sister's Imp had a Ferrari engine, which would have been fun, but in those days Ferraris had 12 cylinders. I eventually discovered that Mike Parkes (who drove in F1 for Ferrari) had been on the design team for the Imp engine.
A mate of my cousin bought an Imp. Kenny stood about 6'-10". One day he narrowly avoided a collision with some idiot who cut him off. The Imp window was wound down, and Kenny's arm came out, followed shortly by his head and shoulders; he was already within reach of the offender's vehicle and barely one-third of Kenny had emerged from the Imp.
He roared "Up yer kilt wi' a blowlamp!" at which the other chap made a hasty departure. :lol:

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'
