Change of plans......

[Northy]

Nothing ever goes to plan, right?

Well, remember I said I wanted to build a bike engined, rear wheel drive mini (we're talking real cars here BTW). Well, they really are bringing big money these days for what they are, so I've still not got one.

So....

Well....

Anyone remember Julie's old Green Chinq?

It's sat on our drive, declared SORN. What do you guys think I should do?

How stealth would a Fiat Chinq be that did 0 - 60 in 4 seconds!

Hey G,
How about a twin mid-engined Hyabusa powered RWD Cinq?

Its been done to a Mini before, surely it can be done to a Cinq too?

OK then Chris, but only if you buy the engies at £2k+ a pop!

ooooh, I can see there may be a problem with that idea then.

Which bike engines are cheap (or FOC) and easy to get? Something loud, a V-Twin perhaps?

[Northy]

R1 maybe?

Are those engines about at a reasonable price though?
