Yes please https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z03CfZdg4sY  ..

Just watched that car today (at work  ;D  ) on a Cleetus episode.
It is for sale - about $86k USD from memory.
But what a hoot it would be.

Awesome day with this crazy, sketchy, and incredible 500 WHP, RWD, classic MINI, with a rotrex-supercharged Acura V6 in back!

2,000 lbs, heated and cooled seats, and it runs a ten-second quarter mile!

Forget the old cars.....this will turn more heads pulling into the local woolies carpark.... especially if you fire a few rounds into the cars that haven't parked correctly....

Whilst searching for something completely unrelated, I came across this thesis. I have downloaded it (all 404 pages) and started reading. I'm only about 25 pages in but find it fascinating. Anyone with an interest in Australian Car Design should download and read it. Many fascinating illustrations and old photos.
I highly recommend

Is it just me or does it look like the front and the back of a car both at the same time?
