    These Aussies are too funny, if they want something bad enough they will suffer even if it means leg cramps and poor circulation as a result of driving in a sardine can. I should know, I'm married to one. That is 17 years of bliss (Sarcasm) but really she's not that bad, just a little aggressive at time.

    Back in the 1970's I met a fellow that had a two engine/four wheel drive MINI. He removed the roof and replaced it with a toneau like cover. He had a center stack on the dash that had duplicate instruments. The frame was beefed up to deal with the additional weight. It used two S engines but don't know at what state of tune. He ran on the streets and also auto cross events. I suspect that the weight of the extra engine was a detriment but it was impressively quick...even in autocrosses. I would think this mid/engine version would be a lot better balanced and seemed to handle well in this video. A modern Subaru boxer engine would put out as much HP as the other two engines also.
