Real or not??

I mean they pick up one engine, slap the other one in, no cables, no battery, no throttle? Must be rigged.

Engine to transmission and a battery to spark it, that's all that's really needed to drive right?

Id think it would take more than 30 seconds to hook up the cv axles.

Plus there was no coolant in the radiator, otherwise it would have gone all over the floor. That car wouldn't make it around the block.

Hrm, that was a short distance, I don't think they'd need a radiator for that or even that much cooling.

cutting corners like that is probably within the rules because some cars are put together too complicated to do it quickly. still seems lame to me though, that's why to get the record you'd have to find a car that is easy to take apart and put back together. it was funny seeing a young Jeremy Clarkson though...
