	That's bloody insane, I like it! Too bad he couldn't find some way to make it rear engined and V8 powered though! Alright it'd REALLY difficult if not impossible, but he could always have used a Tatra engine and transaxle?! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

	you could do it rev, but you would have to cut out the rear bulk head and probably move the rear axel forward to acomodate the length on the V8?

	You could always mid mount it further in the car but then that would take away the idea of sleeeeeeper as it would then be more like this one.

	It's the Spontaneity of it all that makes me love it! If you watch the video he uses the term: "Traffic Light Grand Prix" We've all been there! You knows it!

	Yeah definitely an inspirational guy! The site has gone into my Favourites. I also like the guy who did that transverse V8 Mini (in Retro Cars some time back) - dragging the block up and down the garden path to skim the surface! Quality engineering!!! I like his methods.

	The same guy that made that mental V8 Mini is also making a Mini van with a Rover V8... IN THE BACK! Which I can't wait to see finished, it's a sleeper, it's got a crazy engine, and it's rear engined, what more could you want?! ;D ;D ;D ;D
