Don't tell Alan D about this or he'll be wanting one as well, some people collect ornaments, Alan prefers engines, any size will do

That looks a bit trick! Not so suitable to FWD, but nice for an inline conversion I think.

I don't think you could rule out fitting a FWD gearbox

What's wrong with a front engined, rear wheel drive Midas? It's been done in a Mini! :idea:

It would certainly shock a few of the seven people. I think this is the new project for David M.! 8-)

:) Yes that would be nice Alan....

Except I am rapidly running out of toy funds. All donations greatfully received though!

I think I might have to start doing the lottery.

We can but try!

Seriously though, I think I'd hate to put a grinder through the middle of my car to make a big tunnel.

Best would be to run a mid engined car, ala the Z cars one, or the alfa engined bronze. Power and weight are then in the right place.

Lot of work though.
