is that the yellow one?

if it is, the radiator is in the boot and the fuel tank is a beer keg. power is still to the front wheels too!

it's here - http://www.spagweb.com/v8mini/ looks like he's building a v8 mini van as well!!!

13.8 @ 102....a standard UK classic should pull that with no bother. I like the sticker in the back window though...."Caution! I slow down for scoobies" - very droll

Never fails ..... always someone who will come along and say a classic would be quicker. Me thinks you would be soundly thrashed by this car and probably all other 16V mini's with a decent driver.

Oh and I have my reservations that a std UK classic would do 13.8 too.

Me in a focus estate

Just makes me chuckle ....... Watch the videos .... that rear wheel drive Mini is a monster, very very quick and the handling on them is amazing too.

For instance Achem with his older spec Honda engined Mini Van has driven away from me IN THE WET on the 'ring' (me with 329 horses on board)...... If you think you can beat him easily have a crack .... He will hand you your **** on a plate

There are other cars other than UK scoobs you know
