Description
This is a quite amazing 1912 Benz Grand Prix car that obviously still runs rather well. Loud, grumbling, burbling, no front brakes, huge engine, and it's wonderfully smelly as it goes by. Cars like this also raced at Indy before WW1.Evidently this vehicle was found in Australia in decrepit condition and restored. It's quite fun to watch run at speed.
Taken at the 2012 Hershey Hillclimb.

You're not the first person to say that.
I should put this up on the one Stig fan group on DA.
Some say he likes Hillclimbs. Some even say he even comes to Hershey, Pennsylvania for the Troeg's Ale and not for the chocolate....

And some say that he thinks Star Wars is a documentary.

Could be!
It was well-driven and quicker than you'd think.

I say its a pretty good chance.
Oh I dunno, seen a fair few old geezers zooming down the bends at break-neck speed :3

I don't know of The Stig would come here from the UK. It could be the US Stig....
