Everybody knows that Hammond is a secret American.

And also a secret Australian, though it's never been said on the show and it may be my American-ness throwing me off.

I almost got run over by a Fisker here in Brooklyn while riding my bicycle the same day I watched the episode. Looked great, but gently caress it.

A good episode. Watching made me think that the Sultan of Brunei is trying to sell some more of his toys and asked TG to come over again and help pitch them.

Well sheeit. Most lighter hydrocarbons do burn with a blue flame with sufficient oxygen (ie stoichiometric mixture), the orange color is due to soot (from a rich mixture) heating up and glowing orange.

What I'm saying is those must be some very finely tuned machines if the fuel's burning that color.

If memory serves me correctly, in some of the footage from the Clarkson/Harris reviews you can see two little nozzle-type injectors on the top of the exhaust tip.
