Default Crazy Car Build...

Apologies if this has already been posted. I did a search, but for some reason my searches pretty much find every thread ever posted (or near enough!)

Was just reading this forum (someone sent me the link - I don't have a corsa! ) and thought I would share. Even if the bhp figures are exagerated, that engine will still be pushing out amazing power!

I love the 'Practical Car Magazine' stickers!

A SD1 with what I'm guessing is a Merlin in it - oh yes, very practical.

The original posted motor dressed up as a Granny - cool as fook.

It's the Rover that won the battle of britain, how much more practical do you want?

(sadly it's the meteor tank engine version rather than a proper merlin. Jay Leno has one in a rolls royce, for occasions when the jet-bike just seems a bit too much)
