V-12 lovers, here is a project to do when you have a bit of time on your hands.

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Too cool Stephen, worth being a little late for the train!
5 race wins, 2 in the rain. 2nd in ICSCC G Production Championship 2005 and 2006. Now I'm just gonna drive the MINI.

Now he needs to work on a supercharger and spark plugs and a distributor of some sort.  Put the whole rig into a rail dragster driven by a rapping hamster and he could make millionsLOL

The guy really has dedication to his hobby.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Those are pretty nice!  Machinists with time to kill.  Even the tractor pull was cool.  Give a guy an engine and the first thought is "how do we make it go faster?"...

Very nice!

My fav is still Pierre Scerri's 103cc Ferrari H12, and the rest of the fully functional 312PB that goes with it.  It makes the Ferrari music - check out the video!

Absolutely spectacular!  I can see an internet billionaire building a recaro seat with RC controls that link up to this car and WOW, what a toy that would be.
