    Would you build a RWD mid-engined Mini like this, given the chance?

    One of our local competitors has a classic mini with an 870bhp Audi 5 cylinder (I want to say RS3/TTRS engine) with quattro AWD. It’s basically a spaceframe with big front and rear wings, but technically a mini.

    Absolutely love this mini. I turboed mine with a Haltech Nexus R3 but this Subaru setup is on an entirely different level.

    Glad to see Connor getting much more comfortable with the interviews. Much more fluent to listen to.
    Keep it up HPA. Still my favourite content.

      Cheers mate! Just takes a bit of time but having Andre as a mentor helps too. I'll make sure Connor sees your comment 🤘 - Taz.

    I asked a Jdm importer about this 20+ years ago. He said there's no way it would fit in the front, due to the position of the transfer box, either putting the engine way to far out front, or the front wheels would be behind the A panels 😂😂😂
    In the boot was the obvious choice

      @@skippy2987 cardboard is way cheaper to form and fit, how do you think boats are made by hand. the auto cad machine sits in the corner broke, so the manual cardboard design must be implemented.
