I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Are you saying Aussies like an excessive number of exhaust pipes?!
Sorry, but it's not Australian..

LeMay roadster, built by the late (2009) Richard LeMay of Calgary, Alberta, Canada during the period 1976 - 1981.  According to his obituary, Richard was a machinist who built this unique car “from the ground up”.  The large number of exhausts probably stems from the fact that the car has a Jaguar V12 engine.
