Z-Cars R1 powered Mini
Won a raffle at my village school fayre today and part of the prize was a run in a Z-Cars R1 powered Mini.
This specific example is a superbly finished and executed item and is well worty of the shows that the owner plans to take it to.
I was only a passenger, but my overall impression was not of outright speed, but how it was quite a crazy little car that had my head going "it's a Mini", but my ears going "it's a bike".......strange sensation doing 12,000 rpm and lashing up throught the six speed box with no let-up in acceleration......wicked!!
I've been thinking of going for a bike powered car of some sort next year, and I think this little run has affirmed my thouhts.
Great little toy!!!

Its done without cutting up the car too much, unlike other conversions.
