Pete: too soon? Do you mean "too soon" in the sense why Top Gear's test report on the McLaren Mercedes SLR was funny?

Jeremy Clarkson: "The story goes that when Mercedes and McLaren engineers heard the sound of the SLR's V8 engine, the British engineers said "It sounds like a Spitfire!" - the German engineers argued "Nein, nein, it sounds like a Messerschmidt!".
