路Never accept less than 63bhp myself 馃槜. 1998 Mini Cooper with 1966 Omega 166.0002.
110 mph speedo but, the laws of aerodynamics take over at 80-85... Still the fastest thing through the bends with huge 175/50 R13 tyres on a car weighing 2/3 of a tonne. Greatly amusing when someone is 3ft from your back bumper on a straight and disappears backwards through the twisty bits. Dare not lift off as it takes an age to get back up to speed. Anyway, that's my excuse, officer 馃槈
Here with winter tyres and raring to go.

Cheers, Chris
LOL - Here is the huge "power-plant" in my '63 Nova. The original 194 Cubic Inch in-line 6 putting out a whopping 120HP. 馃槈
As I say to the kids, "Quick, to the ice-cream parlor!"

路Heck, 3.2L and 120 bhp. Now that's understressed. Does it also take a V8 with that amount of space?
Continuing on from my first post, 3.8L and 265 bhp, according to Jaguar. The best view in British motoring....
Combined with a 1997 (?) Speedmaster and open roads. It doesn't get better than days like these. Cue Matt Monroe...
Yes, I know that's a Miura but a bit later in the film...
Cheers, Chris

Just putting forward some alternate acronyms mate. I didn't even mention the cars made on Friday afternoon!! Trust me, I know about such things as you are aware...I have heard stories about coke cans being put inside door panels, etc.
