Speaking of Merlins:
Has anyone noticed that in the original "101 Dalmations" by Disney, Cruella
drove a wicked sports car (English, of course) that sounded exactly like a
Merlin. In the chase scene she ran off the road (woman driver, after all)
into a creek and the hood went flying, revealing a V12! The sound of an
idling Merlin has to be the sweetest sound ever created by Mankind. Brings
gooseflesh just thinking about it.
