Theres a busa powered Starlet Rally car in Nelson, sounds great revving out to 13k rpm between gear shifts

thats how the mini should have been made from day one!

i think honda did actually put an air cooled motorbike engine in a front wheel drive sports car ...around the 70's i believe.

[pressy]

i believe there is also a smart car done like it to, best they have ever gone....

Yeah theres smart cars, fiats, starlets, alsorts of little cars lol.
The minis are pretty cool tho. Theres a yamaha R1 powered one too. And one chopped into a ratrod ute. Oh the things you can do when you've got more money than time
