I'm sure this was on the old forums, but i'll put it back on the new forum anyway.....

I like to see wierd and wonderful engine conversions in minis, cos the good old A+ can only go sar far with power...... so here is one that gives me quite a burst of inspiration....

http://www.btinternet.com/~honda.mini/hybrids/Others.htm

Rotary powered rear wheel drive with a roof chop. Pity its incomplete....
And a peugeot powered one on the same page.....
AND a toyota twin cam rear wheel drive one at the bottom.....

Torque steer is great, but i miss power slides.....

I love that 4age Toyota car. the front looks like it ran into a brick wall, but what a cool lil car.

And as to the chook cooker, I reeeeeeeely dont think I like the idea of a driveshaft in the cabin with me.

I would like to think that a tunnel is going to be built over that tranny and driveshaft.... but who knows..... yeah, it'd be nasty if it let go!!

Nope it's not a Mini box- it's an Austin Princess box (near relation to an Austin 1800) I know 'coz Matt told me.. :wink:
