Will this do?

Mini Clubman with Rover V8 engine

Jesus H Vishnu! I thought my old man did well getting an Austin 1300 lump in his mini - but this is insane. I feel sorry for the poor sod who put it in - it must have been a nightmare! That's one hell of a power to weight ratio - I bet that leaves plenty of cars in the dust.

I guess testament to the mini is how it won Bathurst 1000 in 1966.

Yeah - the Cooper S was a great little car. I knew a guy who had one years ago, but this wasn't what you'd call standard. It had a two stage turbo charger and a nitrous oxide kit. He took me out for a drive once - he got into third gear then dumped some nitrous into the block. I thought I was gonna get pushed through the back of the seat! That was a scary ride.

I wished my truck got better gas mileage, but it is what it is. average is 8-9 MPG, if I have 30+ MPH winds at my back I can get 13+ MPG

In yer face!! Mine can get up to 35mpg!

I'm all about cars, but i don't have any pics of what we've been working on lately. And i'm too lazy to repost the pics of the other stuff we've done. I'll go find the links later on, when i'm not so dilatory.

Ok, so it turns out the other thread where i showed off the t-bird we painted something had happened to the pics, so i'll just repost 3 pics of the car.

 

[scarpetti]

Sickmont, if you drive that through East Oakland you have to slap these on it! And then drive really fast because you'll get car jacked for them.......

 

[ring sting]

Hey Scarpetti,

is that the Saturn that has plastic panels?

A friend of my wife's bought one when she was in High School in the early '90's.

She and the car lived in Toronto for many years, then drove to Vancouver for 4 or so yrs, and then back to Ottawa.

That POS refuses to die!

Happy motoring!

Just saw this morning that GM is shutting Saturn down..

That T-bird runs a 9.50et in the quarter @ around 147-149 mph. There isnt a whole lot on the road that'll catch her. Besides, i really can't see the owner putting a set of those on her anyways, so he shouldnt have a whole lot to worry about.

 

[AlabamaJack]

that's one bad ass ride Sickie...

:mornin':

 

[Sickmont]

:mornin' AJ:

Yeah, you've seen the t-bird before. I dont have any pics of what we've been doing lately, so i figured i'd just post some pics of projects past. And i heard that news about Saturn today also. Too bad, because just when they get it right and lately they've been really nice cars. I've pretty much lost all faith in GM anyways, especially since they axed Pontiac. Bastards!
